Jerusalem Songtext
von Daliah Lavi

Where the mothers of sons never cease their weeping
Where the fathers of faith in the ground lie sleeping
Where the seeds of time have a world been reaping
Oh Jerusalem is
Where the cobblestones wet with the blood of ages
Hear the echo of wheels turning history′s pages
The cries of fools steal the words of sages
Oh Jerusalem is
'Neath an olive tree branch anyone can listen
To the sum of sums as the green leaves glisten
As summer rain falls and the raindrops christen
What Jerusalem is
And the river runs on and the world keeps turning
And the water′s cold though the sands are burning
The mountains know while we still are learning
What Jerusalem is
Oh when will tomorrow's sons, tomorrow's daughters
Never taste of the bread cast upon the waters
Put down the swords that perform the slaughters
Where Jerusalem is


Where the cobblestones wet with the blood of ages
Hear the echo of wheels turning history′s pages
The cries of fools steal the words of sages
Oh Jerusalem is
′Neath an olive tree branch anyone can listen
To the sum of sums as the green leaves glisten
As summer rain falls and the raindrops christen
What Jerusalem is
And the river, oh the river runs on and the world keeps turning
And the water's cold though the sands are burning
The mountains know while we still are learning
What Jerusalem is
And the river, oh the river runs on and the world keeps turning
And the water′s cold though the sands are burning
The mountains know while we still are learning
What Jerusalem is
Oh when will tomorrow's sons, tomorrow′s daughters
Never taste of the bread cast upon the waters
Put down the swords that perform the slaughters
Where Jerusalem is
Where the mothers of sons never cease their weeping
Where the fathers of faith in the ground lie sleeping
Where the seeds of time have a world been reaping
Oh Jerusalem is
