LYRICS & TRANSLATION

Erhebt euch, tut ab den Schlaf
In dieser Zeit der bitteren Früchte
Übt Freunde eure Wachsamkeit
Dem Weinen und der Angst zu wehren
Seht, aus der Kühle hoher Luft
Da fallen hundert Monde
Als Zeichen für den Neubeginn
Als Sinn wider den Widersinn
Und heute in Jerusalem
Endlich in Jerusalem
Atem holen und besinnen
Und heute in Jerusalem
Friede für Jerusalem
Seht, aus der Kühle hoher Luft
Da fallen hundert Monde
Als Zeichen für den Neubeginn
Als Sinn wider den Widersinn
Und heute in Jerusalem
Endlich in Jerusalem
Atem holen und besinnen
Und heute in Jerusalem
Friede für Jeruѕаlem
