Original lyrics
Libi be-misrach (ליבי במזרח) + Ir me quiero a Yerushalayim
ליבי במזרח ואנוכי בסוף מערב -
איך אטעמה את אשר אוכל ואיך יערב?
איכה אשלם נדרי ואסרי, בעוד
ציון בחבל אדום ואני בכבל ערב?
ייקל בעיני עזוב כל טוב ספרד,
כמו ייקר בעיני ראות עפרות דביר נחרב!
Ir me queria yo por este caminico
rogar quero al Dio de no encontrar al enemigo.
Que davox en bonhora
que ya, que ya me vo.
Ir me quiero, madre, a Yerushalayim.
La noche anochece el dia amanece,
miran de las partes por ande esclarece.
a yerushalayim la veo de enfrente
me parece madre la luna en creciente
Al bet hamiqdax hay una almenara,
siete brazos tiene el mundo entero arelumbraba.
En el bet hamiqdax tres palombas bolan
con la xechina hablan boca con boca.

Translation
My Heart Is in the East + I Want To Go To Jerusalem
My heart in the East and I at the farthest West:
how can I taste what I eat or find it sweet
while Zion is in the cords of Edom and I
bound by the Arab?
Beside the dust of Zion all the good of Spain is light;
and a light thing to leave it.1
I want to go through this path
I beg the Lord that I find no enemies there
I will arrive right on time
because I'm, I'm leaving now.
Mother, I want to go to Jerusalem
the night falls and the day dawns
I look everywhere that's illuminated by the day
I see Jerusalem in front of me
mother, it resembles a crescent moon.
There is a menorah in the Holy Temple
lighting the world with its seven lamps
three doves fly in the Holy Temple
Shekinah dwells within each of them.
