Jérusalem
Édith Piaf
Jerusalem
Alone…
In the desert, burned by the sun
Of Jerusalem, of Jerusalem
Alone…
A man in white watches from afar as the dawn breaks
Of Jerusalem, of Jerusalem
In His eyes, there's the kindness of the world
In His heart, there's all the love in the world
In His hands, there's the magic of the world
The whole universe is here thanks to Him in this desert
And the lonely Man
Transfigured, goes, guided by the white bird
Towards Jerusalem, towards Jerusalem
There...
He walks among the soldiers and the people
Of Jerusalem, of Jerusalem
In their eyes, there's the misery of the world
In their hearts, there's the pain of the world
In their hands, there's the anger of the world
But the man in white smiles,
His gaze fixed on them.
The drum beats
To announce that destiny is fulfilled
Of Jerusalem, of Jerusalem
For…
A man has fallen on the stones of the path
Of Jerusalem, of Jerusalem
In His eyes, there's the forgiveness of the world
From His heart, all the love of the world spreads
From His hands, the Light of the world has emerged
It's a new sun being reborn in the sunlight…
Of Jerusalem…
Of Jerusalem…
