[HANASHIR:9257] Re: English lyrics for Yerushalayim Shel Zahav

[Joel Shickman <joel...>]

Hope this helps.
--Joel Shickman
Dallas, Texas

The olive trees that stand in silence
Upon the hills of time
To hear the voices of the city
As bells of evening chime

The shofar sounding from the temple
To call the world to prayer
The shepherd pauses in the valley
and peace is everywhere

Yerushalayim shel zahav
Veshel nechoshet veshel or
Halo lechol shirayich
Ani kinor

And far away beyond the desert
A thousand suns will glow
We shall be going to Jordan
By way of Jericho

My simple voice cannot acclaim thee
Too weak the words I choose
Jerusalem if I forget thee
May my right hand its cunning lose

Yerushalayim shel zahav
Veshel nechoshet veshel or
Halo lechol shirayich
Ani kinor
