Jerusalem of Gold

For ANAV

This is my extremely poor translation of a beautiful song.

 I also screwed up some of the video effects but this will have to do because I'm technologically challenged and can't figure out how to fix it.

Jerusalem of Gold

 

Crisp mountain air and the scent of pine

Carried by an evening wind accompanied by the sound of bells

Slumbering trees and stones captured in a dream

The lonely city with a wall at it's heart

 

(chorus)

Jerusalem of gold, and of copper,  and of light

I'm a violin to all your prose

(repeat)

We've returned to the water holes, the market, and the center

A shofar is blowing from the temple top in the old city

Thousands of suns mirrored in the stones

We retrod the path through Jericho to the dead sea

Jerusalem of gold, and of copper,  and of light

I'm a violin to all your prose

(repeat)

In my attempts to sing your praises

I am left tongue tied and speechless

Your name burns my lips like the kiss of an angel

Could I ever forget you Jerusalem of pure gold

Jerusalem of gold, and of copper,  and of light

I'm a violin to all your prose
