Re: Yerushalyim Shel Zahav-English lyrics?

[ALICEWINE <ALICEWINE...>]

Dear Adrian - 

Found a manuscript from old files with English words by Judith Eisenstein:

The mountain air is clear and fragrant
Like wine it weaves a spell.  
It's born aloft on evening breezes 
along with sound of bell.

In slumber like the stone and cypress
Enchanted, set apart.
The city long was sitting lonely
A wall was at her heart.

--------

In ancient walls to narrow alleys
Each stone a precious gem
Beside the wall a shofar calls us
To old Jerusalem.

A thousand suns in rocky caverns
Shine out and bid us go
The long lost road down to the Dead Sea
The road to Jericho.

----------
Bud now the time has come to hail thee
Weave garlands for  Thy guards
I am the smalles of thy children
The lastest of thy bards.

Thy name can burn the lips of poets
Like fiery seraph's wing.
I'll not forget Yerushalayim
And I shall ever sing.

Refrain: 

Yerushalayim of shining gold
and shining copper against the sky
For the songs to your glory
Thy harp am I.  (repeats)

The following are more "standard" words that I was more familiar with:

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 ev'rywhere.

Hope this helps.

Alice
