ירושלים של זהב
Yerushalayim Shel Zahav(Jerusalem Of Gold)
אויר הרים צלול כיין
וריח אורנים
נישא ברוח הערבים
עם קול פעמונים
Avir harim tzalul kayayin
Ve-rei'ach oranim
Nisa be-ru'ach ha'arbayim
Im kol pa'amonim
The mountain air is clear as wine
And the scent of pines
Is carried on the breeze of twilight
With the sound of bells
ובתרדמת אילן ואבן
שבויה בחלומה
העיר אשר בדד יושבת
ובליבה חומה
U-ve-tardemat ilan va-even
Shvuyah ba-chalomah
Ha-ir asher badad yoshevet
U-ve-libah chomah
And in the slumber of tree and stone
Captured in her dream
The city that sits solitary
And in its midst is a wall
ירושלים של זהב
ושל נחשת ושל אור
הלא לכל שיריך אני כנור
Yerushalayim shel zahav
Ve-shel nechoshet ve-shel or
Ha-lo le-chol shirayich ani kinor
Jerusalem of gold, and of bronze, and of light
Behold I am a violin for all your songs
Please note that there are more verses to this beautiful song but I have only shown these ones since these are the only ones that are included on the sound clip sung by Ofra Haza that can be found at this first link.
