ME'AL PISGAT HAR HATSOFIM
ABOVE THE PEAK OF MT SCOPUS

 

 

Me'al pisgat har hatsofim
eshtachaveh lach apa'im.
Me'al pisgat har hatsofim
shalom lach Yerushala'im.

Me'ah dorot chalamti alayich
livkot, lirot be'or panayich.

Chorus:
Yerushalaim, Yerushalaim
Ha'iri panayich livnech.
Yerushalaim, Yerushalaim
mechurvotayich evnech.

Me'al pisgat har hatsofim
shalom lach Yerushalaim.
alfei golim mekatsot kol tevel
nos'im elaich einaim
alfei brachot hei b'rucha
mekadesh melech ir mluchah.

Yerushalaim, Yerushalaim
ani lo azuz mipo
Yerushalaim, Yerushalaim
yavo hamashiach yavo.

Above the peak of Mount Scopus
I will bow down to the ground to you,
Above the peak of Mount Scopus
peace to you, Jerusalem

For a hundred generations I dreamt of you,
to cry, to see the light of your face.

Chorus:
Jerusalem, Jerusalem
light up you face to your son,
Jerusalem, Jerusalem
from you ruins I will build you.

Above the peak of Mount Scopus
peace to you, Jerusalem
Thousands of exiles from all parts of the world,
lift their eyes to you
thousands of blessings,
be blessed, as a king sanctifies a royal city.

Jerusalem, Jerusalem
I won't move from here,
Jerusalem, Jerusalem
the Messiah will come, will come.
