IM ESHKACHECH 
YERUSHALAIM 

Im eshkachech Yerushalaim
tishkach yemini,
tidabek l'shoni lechiki
im lo ezkerechi.

Im eshkachech Yerushalaim.

Im lo e'eleh Yerushalaim
al rosh simchati
z'chor adonai livnei adom
et yom Yerushalaim.

Im eshkachech Yerushalaim.

Ha'omrim aru aru,
ad hayesod bah
im lo e'eleh Yerushalaim
al rosh simchati.

IF I FORGET THEE 
JERUSALEM 

If I forget thee, O Jerusalem,
let my right hand forget her cunning.
Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth,
if I remember thee not;

If I forget thee, O Jerusalem.

IfI set not Jerusalem
above my chiefest joy
Remember Lord, against the children of Edom
the day of Jerusalem.

If I forget thee, O Jerusalem.

Wo say:'Rase it, rase it,
even to the foundation thereof.'
If I set not Jerusalem
above my chiefest joy.
