Yerushalayim Shel Zahav Lyrics

Avir harim tsalul kayaïn
vereyah ’oranim
Nisa’ beruah ‘arbayim
‘im qol pa‘amonim

uvtardemat ’ilan va’even
shvuya bahalomah
ha‘ir ’asher badad yoshevet
uvelibah homah

Yerushalayim shel zahav veshel nehoshet veshel ’or
halo’ lekhol shirayikh ’ani kinor

Hazarnu ’el borot hammayim
lashuq velakikar
shofar kore’ behar habayit
ba‘ir ha‘atiqah

uvame‘arot ’asher basela‘
’alfey shmashot zorhot
veshuv nered le yam-hammelah
bederekh yeriho

Yerushalayim shel zahav veshel nehoshet veshel ’or
halo’ lekhol shirayikh ’ani kinor

Akh bevo’i hayyom lashir lakhv
velakh liqshor ktarim
qatonti mitse‘ir banaïkh
ume’ahron hamshorerim

ki shmekh tsorev et-hasfatayim
kineshiqat saraf
’im eshkahekh yerushalayim
’asher kulakh zahav

Yerushalayim shel zahav veshel nehoshet veshel ’or
halo’ lekhol shirayikh ’ani kinor
