Ofra Haza - Jerusalem lyrics

Jerusalem, Jerusalem

Jerusalem, Jerusalem

He was born the King Solomon

He was a wise and had a thousand wives

He was a righteous and feeling judge

He was the king and the father of the people

Jerusalem, Jerusalem

Jerusalem, Jerusalem

Two young women came with a child

Claiming I'm the mother of this child

He said: Bring me a sword,

Divide the baby in two

Oh, in two!

Jerusalem, Jerusalem

Jerusalem, Jerusalem

The real mother cried: Don't!

The other one said: Divide!

Everybody knew who was really true

Jerusalem, Jerusalem

Jerusalem, Jerusalem

How can the people divide a little child ?

How can the people divide such a little heart ?

Jerusalem, Jerusalem

Jerusalem, Jerusalem
