ENGLISH:

The olive trees that stand in silence Upon the hills of time To hear the voices of the city As bells of evening chime

The shofar sounding from the temple To call the world to prayer The shepherd pauses in the valley And peace is everywhere.

Jerusalem, Jerusalem Forever young, forever old My heart will sing your songs of glory Jerusalem.

And far away beyond the desert A thousand suns will glow We shall be going down to Jordan By way of Jericho.

My simple voice cannot acclaim thee Too weak the words I choose Jerusalem - if I forget thee My right arm may I lose.

Jerusalem, Jerusalem Forever young, forever old My heart will sing your songs of glory Jerusalem.

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics JERUSALEM OF GOLD of DEMIS ROUSSOS is also present in the album Christmas with demis roussos - silent night (2003)

Biografia

Demis Roussos (Artemios Ventouris-Roussos; Alexandria, Egypt, June 15, 1946 – Athens, January 25, 2015) was a Greek singer and bassist. Born to Greek parents who emigrated to Egypt, Demis began his musical career in the 1960s as a member of the group Aphrodite's Child, with whom he achieved international success thanks to the concept album *It's Five O'Clock*. After the band disbanded in 1972, Roussos embarked on a successful solo career, reaching worldwide fame with songs like *My Sweet Lord*, *Forever and Ever* and *Goodbye My Love*. His warm and melodious voice, combined with romantic lyrics and orchestral arrangements, made him one of the most popular artists of the period. Roussos sold over 60 million records worldwide, leaving an indelible mark on international pop music.
