Where I was born lived the king Solomon
He was so wise and he had a thousand wives
He was a righteous and feeling judge
He was the king and the father of the people

Jerusalem, Jerusalem

Two young women came with a child
Claiming I'm the mother of this child
He said: Bring me a sword,
Divide the baby in two
Oh, in two!

The real mother cried: Don't!
The other one said: Divide!
Everybody knew who was really true

How can the people divide a little child?
How can the people divide such a little heart?

Yerushalem, Yerushalem
