Y'rushalayim shel Zahav (JERUSALEM OF GOLD)

By Naomi Shemer

With two different translations:

*#1 translation by Rabbi Jack Gabriel

Y'rushalayim shel Zahav Jerusalem of Gold

avir harim tsalul kayayin

(A7)D7

v'rei'ach ora-nim

nisa b'ruach ha'arbayim

im kol pa'a- mo-nim

(repeats above melody:)

uv'tardemat ilan va'even

shvuya bachaloma

ha'ir asher badad yoshevet

uv'liba choma.

I walk among your streets and houses

I feel your breath of spring

the song that rises from your stillness

no human tongue can sing.

I dream a dream of holy spaces

within your timeless soul

I am your child across the water

I share the truth you hold.

y'rusha-lyaim shel za-hav

Bb/Gm F

v'shel n'choshet v'shel or

halo l'chol shi-rayich a-ni ki- nor.

Yerusha'layim, made of Gold

you're made of copper, burning bright

Your every song makes me a singer

I need your light..

I cry for you, Yeru'shaylayim,

Your children suffer so

Your far away, returning children

who love your ancient glow

the almond blossom blooms in winter

in holy Yisra'el

It whispers that the cold is leaving,

and springtime will not fail...

------------------------------------------------

Y'rushalayim shel Zahav

#2 Translation

Mountain air clear as wine

And a scent of pines

Is lifted in the twilight wind

With the sound of bells

And in the sleep of tree and stone

Captive in a dream

The city which stands alone

And in her heart a wall

Jerusalem of gold

And of copper, and of light

For all your songs I am a violin

--------------------------------------------------------

Y'rushalayim shel Zahav

avir harim tsalul kayayin

uv'liba choma.

y'rushalyaim shel zahav

v'shel n'choshet v'shel or

eicha yavshu borot hamayim
