Oh, Jerusalem,
How is it when your heart
Is broken?
Oh, Jerusalem,
The flower of the Middle East
Awoken.
Oh, Jerusalem,
King David is coming!...
It is so foggy.
Open your gates!
In the fog, you see
The sun; it is not boggy.
Open your gates!
Let your towers kneel down
To welcome the King...
Move your gates,
Let your towers dance!
The King is here, in full swing!
With his army,
The King is coming!
Oh, Jerusalem, do not cry.
You are not like a ******.
Like Bathsheba, you know a lot:
Her heart was soft, her womb - dry.
Oh, Jerusalem, do not cry.
Like a patient, be patient;
Wait and... wait for your “Godot”.
He is on the way from Ashdod.
Like Aslan, he is coming in the spring,
Like Jesus, he loves his mystical string.
Be blessed, oh, the Flower:
David on the way to Jerusalem.
28.5.21, J.
