YERUSHALAYIM SHEL ZAHAV

Avir harim tsalul k'yayin
Vereiyach oranim
Nissah beru'ach ha'arbayim
Im kol pa'amonim.

U'vtardemat ilan va'even
Shvuyah bachalomah
Ha'ir asher badad yoshevet
Uvelibah --- chomah.

   Yerushalayim shel zahav
   Veshel nechoshet veshel or
   Halo lechol shirayich
   Ani kinor.
   Yerushalayim shel zahav
   Veshel nechoshet veshel or
   Halo lechol shirayich
   Ani kinor.

Chazamu el borot hamayim
Lashuk velakikar
Shofar koreh behar habayit
Ba'ir ha'atikah.

Uvme'arot asher baselah
Alfei shmashot zorchot
Nashuv nered el Yam Hemalach
B'derech Yericho.

   Yerushalayim shel zahav
   Veshel nechoshet veshel or
   Halo lechol shirayich
   Ani kinor.
   Yerushalayin shel zahav
   Veshel nechoshet veshel or
   Halo lechol shirayich
   Ani kinor.

Ach bevo'i hayom lashir lach
Velach likshor k'tarim
Katonti mitse'ir bana'ich
Ume achron ham'shorerim.

Ki shmech tsorev et hasfatayim
Keneshhikat saraf
Im eshkachech Yerushalayim
Asher kulah zahav.

   Yerushalayim shel zahav
   Veshel nechoshet veshel or
   Halo lechol shirayich
   Ani kinor.
   Yerushalayim shel zahav
   Veshel nechoshet veshel or
   Halo lechol shirayich
   Ani kinor...
   Kinor.
