Jerusalem, JerusalemJerusalem Jerusalem
Turn back to your Lord, your GodConvertere ad Dominum Deum tuum
My eyes are failing from tearsDefecerunt prae lacrimis oculi mei
My insides are all twisted upConturbata sunt visera mea

LamentLamentione

For your crushing pain is greatMagna est enim velut mars contritio tua
Who will mourn for you?Quiis mendebitur tui
Jerusalem, JerusalemJerusalem Jerusalem
Turn back to your Lord, your GodConvertere ad Dominum Deum tuum

LamentLamentione

My heart is spent on the ground, why, my God?Effesum est in terra ie cur meum
Over the brokenness of my people's daughterSuper contritione filiae populi mei
As the little one fades awayCum deficeret parvulus
And the nursing child in the streets of the townEt lactens in plateis oppidi

Jerusalem, JerusalemJerusalem Jerusalem
Turn back to your Lord, your GodConvertere ad Dominum Deum tuum
