My Jerusalem song/ Dan Almagor

Said the peddler from Mazkeret Moshe :
My Jerusalem
Is Mahane Yehuda in holiday's eves
A Saturday of papites( seeds) , curses of drivers
And Rahmo's humus and the smell of fish
And Rahmo's humus and the smell of fish
Laundry on the road and a shower from a bucket

Jerusalem, Jerusalem
My Jerusalem
My Jerusalem

Said the shoemaker from Katamon neighborhood
My Jerusalem
Is seven years of rains in the little block
A housing project with no shop, bus(es) with no account
A housing project with no shop, bus (es) with no account
Saturday- first screening in "The Orion"
Also katamon Gimel is for me

My Jerusalem…

Said the mikve attendant from Mea Shearim
My Jerusalem
is a black shtreimell and grey books
And "A daughter of Israel shall not walk in [wear] shorts"
And "A daughter of Israel shall not walk in [wear] shorts"
She is a whisper of prayer for different days
Not here but up above she winks at me

My Jerusalem…

Said the young man from there by Damascus gate
My Jerusalem is a cross on a store and policemen at midnight
It's a sister that informed and a pit with bombs
It's a sister that informed and a pit with bombs
An Independence parade and hands tightly closed
"yes sir what, kabab, or shishlik?"
