Learn to sing Yerushalayim Shel Zahav
Jerusalem of Gold, by Naomi Shemer
This is a song that is as close to the national anthem of Jerusalem as one can come. Written right before the Six Day War returned Jerusalem to Israel, this song was prophetic. Shemer updated the lyrics with a new verse a few months later to reflect the return of the Old City to Jewish hands.

Yerushalayim ... |
The air of the mountains is as clear as wine And the fragrance of the pine trees Is lifted upon the evening breeze With the ringing of the bells
And in the deep sleep of the tree and the stone Held captive in a dream The city which sits alone And in her heart, a wall
Jerusalem of gold And of copper and of light For all of your songs I am the harp
How the water cisterns have dried up The city square is empty Nobody goes up to the Temple Mount In the Old City
And in the caves of the rocks Winds howl And no one goes down to the Dead Sea Upon the Jericho Road
Jerusalem of gold...
Although I come to sing to you today And to tie crowns upon you I am less than the youngest of your sons And the last of the sweet singers
For your name singes the lips Like the kiss of the serpent If I forget thee, oh Jerusalem She is completely golden
Jerusalem of gold...
We have returned to the water cisterns To the marketplace and the square A shofar calls out on the Temple Mount In the Old City
And in the caves in the rocks A thousand suns shine forth And again we will go down to the Dead Sea Upon the Jericho Road
Jerusalem of gold... |
