In the quiet of the morning when the sun starts to rise
I think of a distant land where my heart forever lies
אִם אֶשְׁכָּחֵךְ Yerushalayim תִּשְׁכַּח יְמִינִי
These words echo through my soul a timeless melody
Oh Jerusalem you're in my dreams tonight
אִם אֶשְׁכָּחֵךְ Yerushalayim in the morning light
If I forget you תִּשְׁכַּח יְמִינִי
אִם lo a'aleh et Yerushalayim עַל רֹאשׁ שִׂמְחָתִי
Every step I take in this world so wide
Your spirit walks with me right by my side
אִם אֶשְׁכָּחֵךְ Yerushalayim the words I can't deny
אִם lo אֶזְכְּרֵכִי beneath this open sky
Oh Jerusalem you're in my dreams tonight
אִם אֶשְׁכָּחֵךְ Yerushalayim in the morning light
If I forget you תִּשְׁכַּח יְמִינִי
אִם lo a'aleh et Yerushalayim עַל רֹאשׁ שִׂמְחָתִי
In the songs of old your beauty shines
A love eternal crossing all time
In my heart forever you will remain
Jerusalem my joy
Oh Jerusalem you're in my dreams tonight
אִם אֶשְׁכָּחֵךְ Yerushalayim in the morning light
If I forget you תִּשְׁכַּח יְמִינִי
אִם lo a'aleh et Yerushalayim עַל רֹאשׁ שִׂמְחָתִי
Whispering your name under starry skies
Jerusalem my love you'll never die
אִם אֶשְׁכָּחֵךְ Yerushalayim תִּשְׁכַּח יְמִינִי
In my heart forever you'll always be free
