Jerusalem of Gold
Song by: Naomi Shemer
Performed by: Hezy Levy
Verse 1:
Avir harim tzalul kayayin
Ve reiach oranim
Nissa be ru ah ha arbayim
Im kol pa amonim
U ve tardemat ilan va even
Shvuyah ba halomah
Ha ir asher badad yoshevet
U ve libbah homah
Chorus:
Yerushalayim shel zahav
Ve shel nehoshet ve shel ohr
Ha lo le chol shirayich
Ani kinnor,
Yerushalayim shel zahav
Ve shel nehoshet ve shel ohr
Ha lo le khol shirayich
Ani kinnor.
Verse 2:
Hazarnu el borot ha mayim
La shuk ve la kikkar
Shofar koreh be Har ha Bayit
Ba ir ha attikah
U va me arot asher ba selah
Alpei shemashot zorhot
Nashuv nered el Yam ha Melah
Be derekh Yeriho
Chorus
Verse 3:
Akh be vo i ha yom la shir lach
Ve lach likshor ketarim
Katonti mi ze ir bana ich
U me aharon ha meshorerim
Ki shemech zorev et ha sefatayim
Ke neshikat saraf
Im eshkakhekh Yerushalayim
Asher kullah zahav
Chorus
Note: This is not an exact recreation of Hezy Livy s version
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiDyezzcq5E). I changed the key (sing first note
of verse as B), and did not include intro tabs. I am very new at this, so
constructive criticism is appreciated!
