שבי בת ירושלים [Shuvi Bat Yerushalayim] [English translation]

A light goes on in Beit Hakerem,

A candle shines in Nayot

In Gonen (Katamon) a halo glows

And my eyes turn to Talpiot.

In Komemiyut (Talbieh) breaks through

A song from the arch of the window,

From Gilo a psalm comes forth

To the ocean of the nights.

(REF)

Return, return, o daughter of Jerusalem

To my home, to my holy day,

The Sovereign has done kindness to you

And me, and my to my soul.

A crescent of the Sabbath emerged,

Hovering over Meah Shearim,

A man from Beit Levi appeared,

Coming home through Nes Harim.

Priests passed through the darkness

As they came from Ir Ganim,

With apron, gold and breastplate,

Pomegranates and bells.

(REF)

To Ramat Rachel arrived

Messengers and angels

Yemin Moshe they calmed,

Mishkenot Shaananim.

Someone will place a carpet

Over the sleepy Ein Karem

And great serenity he promises

To Rehavia and Romema.

(REF)

The Sovereign has done kindness to you

Sleep, sleep Ir Shalem (City of Whole)

The backmost of your lyricists

Your song he dreams.
