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
Dm Gm
avir harim tsalul kayayin
(A7)D7
v'rei'ach ora-nim
Gm
nisa b'ruach ha'arbayim
Dm A7 Dm
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.
CHORUS:
Dm Gm C F
y'rusha-lyaim shel za-hav
Bb/Gm F
v'shel n'choshet v'shel or
Dm Am Dm A7 Dm
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
v'rei'ach oranim
nisa b'ruach ha'arbayim
im kol pa'amonim
uv'tardemat ilan va'even
shvuya bachaloma
ha'ir asher badad yoshevet
uv'liba choma.
CHORUS:
y'rushalyaim shel zahav
v'shel n'choshet v'shel or
halo l'chol shirayich ani kinor.
eicha yavshu borot hamayim
kikar hashuk reika
v'ein poked et har habayit
ba'ir ha'atika.
uvamarot asher basela
m'yal'lot ruchot
v'ein yored el yam hamelach
b'derech y'richo.
chazarnu el borot hamayim
lashuk v'lakikar
shofar koreh b'har habayit
ba'ir ha'atikah.
uvam'arot asher basela
alfey shmashot zorchot
nashuv nered el yam hamelach
b'derech, yericho.
