Im Eshkachech Yerushalayim
Im eshkachech Yerushalayim
Tishkach yemini
Tid'bak leshoni lechiki
Im-lo ezkereichi:
Im-lo a'aleh et Yerushalayim
al rosh simchati
Ha'omrim:
"Aru, aru— ad hayessod bah!"
If I Forget You, Jerusalem
If I forget you, Jerusalem
May my right hand forget its skill
May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth
If I do not remember you
If I do not set Jerusalem
above my highest joy
Those who say:
'Destroy, destroy— down to the foundation in it!'
