Christian Verwoerd - Jeruzalem stad van goud dalszöveg fordítás angol nyelvre

Jerusalem, city of gold

The clear sky above the mountains
The smell of cedar wood
Is carried by the gentle winds
Around the city of gold
 
Bare stones lie to rest
For centuries they saw
How man covets this city
And how the pilgrim dreams of this
 
[Chorus:]
Jerusalem, oh, city of gold
The city restored and built by God1
I will never, ever, forget you, no
You are mine
 
Water flows from the spring
And the squares are filled
You can hear the shofar near the temple
Here God's word is fulfilled
 
Come and take the eastward road
Towards the Dead Sea
Past Jericho there in the distance
We descend there
 
[Chorus:]
Jerusalem, oh, city of gold
The city restored and built by God1
I will never, ever, forget you, no
You are mine
 
Jerusalem of gold
And of copper, and of light
Behold I am a violin
For all your songs
 
Oh, there are many who sing to you
I am but one of them
Yet I, too, want to show my love
To you with heart and voice
 
When I hear your name, I gleam with joy
Oh, most beautiful city
I may forget my right hand
But I'll never forget you
 
[Chorus:]
Jerusalem, oh, city of gold
The city restored and built by God1
I will never, ever, forget you, no
You are mine
 
Jerusalem of gold
And of copper, and of light
Behold I am a violin
For all your songs
 
If I forget you, oh, Jerusalem
Please let my right hand forget itself
