Jerusalem - First Part

Jerusalem O Jerusalem, the eternal and the Holy City Your free blue heavens covers You Victorious flags fly over You And Star of David shine above you You're surrounded by the desert of gold dust. Sometimes a music is heard in the streets And sometimes a lion's roar Through Your old streets walked the Holy And today, fearless and proud warriors Children of Your children To which the saber rests in his hand Never to attack, but always to defend Every stone of the Jewish land. Many martyrs came to you, tortured They made their nests in you, To rebirth their tortured soul God invited them to the synagogues Where rabbis remind and teach them The ancient wisdom of glorious ancestors Which are written in the oldest books.
