Lyrics:
Avir harim tzalul kayayin
(The mountain air is clear as wine)
Vereiach oranim,
(And the scent of pines)
Nisa beru'ach ha'arbayim
(Is carried on the breeze of twilight)
Im kol pa'amonim
(With the sound of bells)

Uvetardemat ilan va'even
(And in the slumber of tree and stone)
Shvuyah bachalomah,
(Captured in her dream)
Ha'ir asher badad yoshevet /nitzevet
(The city that sits solitary)
Uvelibah chomah
(And in its midst is a wall)

[CHORUS]
Yerushalayim shel zahav
(Jerusalem of gold)
Veshel nechoshet veshel or
(And of copper, and of light)
Halo lechol shirayich ani kinor
(Behold I am a violin for all your songs)

Eicha yavshu borot hamayim
(How the cisterns have dried)
Kikar hashuk reikah
(The market-place is empty)
Ve'ein poked et har habayit
(And no one frequents the Temple Mount)
Ba'ir ha'atikah
(In the Old City)

Uvame'arot asher basela
(And in the caves in the mountain)
Meyalelot ruchot
(Winds are howling)
Ve'ein yored el yam hamelach
(And no one descends to the Dead Sea)
Bederech Yericho
(By the way of Jericho)

Ach bevo'i hayom lashir lach
(But as I come to sing to you today)
Velach lik'shor k'tarim
(And to adorn crowns to you)
Katonti mitze'ir bana'ich
(I am the smallest of the youngest of your children)
Ume'acharon ham'shorerim
(And of the last poet)

Ki shmech tzorev et hasfatayim
(For your name scorches the lips)
Keneshikat saraf
(Like the kiss of a seraph)
Im eshkachech Yerushalayim
(If I forget thee, Jerusalem)
Asher kulah zahav
(Which is all gold)

Chazarnu el borot hamayim
(We have returned to the cisterns)
Lashuk velakikar
(To the market and to the market-place)
Shofar kore behar habayit
(A ram's horn calls out on the Temple Mount)
ba'ir ha'atikah
(In the Old City)

Uvame'arot asher baselah
(And in the caves in the mountain)
Alfei shmashot zorchot
(Thousands of suns shine)
Nashuv nered el yam hamelach
(We will once again descend to the Dead Sea)
Bederech Yericho!
(By the way of Jericho!)
