Jerusalem of iron

Within your darkness Jerusalem
We have found a loving heart
While coming to expand your borders
To defeat an enemy
 
We've saturated the sound of his mortars
And morning broke up suddenly -
Just rose, not being whiten yet
Only to be already red
 
Jerusalem of Iron
Of lead and blackness
To your walls
Liberty we have called
 
The battalion, mortared, burst forward,
Wrapped in blood and smoke
Then mothers followed one by one
Among the bereaved crowd
 
Biting its lips and exhausted,
The battalion continued to fight
Until the flag was finally replaced
Above the museum of antiques
 
Jerusalem of Iron ...
 
All the king's battalions were scattered,
The turret's sniper has been silenced
The road toward the Dead Sea is open
On the way down to Jericho
 
It's free to access the Temple Mount
And Western Wall
Here you are under the evening light,
Almost all of you wrapped in gold
 
Jerusalem of Gold
Of lead and dream -
Forever among your walls
Peace shall be prevailed.
