Yerushalaim Shel Zahav (Jerusalem of Gold) - Ofra Haza

Lyrics (English translation):

The mountain air is clear as water
The scent of pines around
Is carried on the breeze of twilight
And tinkling bells resound

The trees and stones there softly slumber
A dream enfolds them all
So solitary lies the city
And at its heart, a wall

Jerusalem of gold
And of light and of bronze
I am the lute for all your songs

Jerusalem of gold
And of light and of bronze
I am the lute for all your songs

The wells are filled again with water
The square with joyous crowd
On the Temple Mount within the City
The shofar rings out loud

Within the caverns in the mountains
A thousand suns will glow
We'll take the road to the Dead Sea together
That runs through Jericho

Jerusalem of gold
And of light and of bronze
I am the lute for all your songs

Jerusalem of gold
And of light and of bronze
I am the lute for all your songs

But as I sing to you, my city
And you with crowns adorn
I am the least of all your children
Of all the poets born

Your name will scorch my lips forever
Like a seraph's* kiss, I'm told
If I forget thee, golden city
Jerusalem of gold

Jerusalem of gold
And of light and of bronze
I am the lute for all your songs

Jerusalem of gold
And of light and of bronze
I am the lute for all your songs
