Verse 1:
Avir harim tzalul kayayin
Ve'reiach oranim
Nissa be'ru'ah ha'arbayim
Im kol pa'amonim
U've'tardemat ilan va'even
Shvuyah ba'halomah
Ha'ir asher badad yoshevet
U've'libbah homah
Chorus:
Yerushalayim shel zahav
Ve'shel nehoshet ve'shel ohr
Ha'lo le'chol shirayich
Ani kinnor,
Yerushalayim shel zahav
Ve'shel nehoshet ve'shel ohr
Ha'lo le'khol shirayich
Ani kinnor.
Verse 2:
Hazarnu el borot ha'mayim
La'shuk ve la kikkar
Shofar koreh be'Har ha'Bayit
Ba'ir ha'attikah
U'va'me'arot asher ba'selah
Alpei shemashot zorhot
Nashuv nered el Yam ha'Melah
Be'derekh Yeriho
Chorus
Verse 3:
Akh be'vo'i ha'yom la'shir lach
Ve'lach likshor ketarim
Katonti mi'ze'ir bana'ich
U'me'aharon ha'meshorerim
Ki shemech zorev et ha'sefatayim
Ke'neshikat saraf
Im eshkakhekh Yerushalayim
Asher kullah zahav
Chorus
Note: This is not an exact recreation of Hezy Livy's version
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiDyezzcq5E). I changed the key (sing first note
of verse as B), and did not include intro tabs. I am very new at this, so
constructive criticism is appreciated!
