A prayer for Jerusalem
Lyrics and music: Shaike Paikov
Jerusalem
All the eyes of Israel
Carry a private prayer to you
Jerusalem, Jerusalem
Allow me to sing to you
A prayer
Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
Pray for our wellbeing
For peace for all of Israel
Jerusalem
As a child I shall remember you
How father in a prayer shawl blessed you
Since then, for many years
I have dreamed with thousands of brothers
Of the day on which I will return
To see you
Jerusalem, Jerusalem
Jerusalem
The fortresses of all the kings
Where are they, my beauty, the prophets?
Will they hear?
Have my people known suffering?
Who amongst them will understand
The gentiles?
Jerusalem, Jerusalem....
