Yerushalayim (Engl.)

בראשית at the dawn of time

A vision so divine

Reveals a nation yet to be

Besides them all the world would pale

For they are Yisroel

A shining light for all to see

And they would come together

Pledge their love forever

Tying the knot at Har Sinai

The dowry was the land

Of milk and honey and

The joy it would bring as time went by

From Egypt's liberation through the splitting sea

The nations of the land retreated fearfully

The mighty walls did crumble as the Shofar blew

Yericho fell and finally our homeland was in view

Yerushalayim, we will never leave you

Now and forever, heart and soul we need you

Our life and our prayer, the dream that lives inside us

City of our fathers, we will never let you go

Once upon a mountain high

He heard the angels cry

As they beheld the עקידה

And knowing what his fathers taught

Dovid Hamelech bought

The holy mountain Moria

His son worked endlessly, and so it came to be

A Bais Hamikdash built of purest gold

Kings would come from far and wide

And cast away their pride

They did proclaim to young and old

There is only one Ribono Shel Olam

If we had only listened, we would still be one

With Eretz Yisroel and all that we have lost

How soon we did forget it all and oh at what a cost

Yerushalayim, We will never leave you

Now and forever, heart and soul we need you

Our life and our prayer, the dream that lives inside us

City of our fathers, we will never let you go

Yerushalayim, We will never leave you

Now and forever, heart and soul we need you

Our life and our prayer, the dream that lives inside us

City of our fathers, we will never let you go

Now it's been two thousand years

And as we fight our tears

We miss you dearly one and all

The agonies we have survived

And yet we still arrive

To find the answers at your wall

We fought so hard to make you home

For you are ours alone

No matter what the world may say

We will not forsake you

No! They'll never take you

For we are your soul and to this day

Deep inside our hearts we know that it will be

We will rise again for all the world to see

And as we do our Bayis will descend in fire

To light your streets again and to fulfill the world's desire!

Yerushalayim, we will never leave you

Now and forever, heart and soul we need you

Our life and our prayer, the dream that lives inside us

City of our fathers, we will never let you go

Yerushalayim, we will never leave you

Now and forever, heart and soul we need you

Our life and our prayer, the dream that lives inside us

City of our fathers, we will never let you go

City of our fathers, we will never let you go
