Literal translation of dutch lyrics:

The clear air above the mountains
The smell of cedarwood
Is carried by the gentle wind
Around that city of gold

The stones are resting
They have been seeing for centuries
How people covet this city
The pilgrim dreams of this

Jerusalem, o city of gold
The city that God restores and builds
I will never forget you
You are mine

The water flows out of the springs again
The squares are filled
You hear the shofar at the temple
Here G'd's Word is fulfilled

Come, take the road now eastward
Towards the Dead Sea
Along Jericho there in the distance
We descend there

Jerusalem, o city of gold...

There are many who sing about you
I am only one of them
Yet I also want to show my love
To you with heart and voice

When I hear your name, I shine
Oh, most beautiful city ever
I may forget my right hand
But I never forget you

Jerusalem, o city of gold...
