Thread Name: Lyrics/Chords ADD:Jerusalem of Gold (Naomi Shemer)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Jerusalem of Gold'
LASprite, here is a link to a webpage telling you everything you could possibly want to know about the song Jerusalem of Gold, or Yerushalayim Shel Zahav. It includes a number of English translations. I hope that gives you the info you need. It's a beautiful song, one I've loved since I first heard it in 1967.

Regarding your other question, it isn't necessary to download the Digital Tradition; it can be searched from this site. If you type the title or some text from a song you are seeking into either the "DigiTrad Lyrics Search" or "DigiTrad and Forum Search" boxes at the top of the Mudcat Forum page, you will more often than not find what you're looking for. The second one will also lead you to discussions of the songs in question that have taken place in the Forum.

Welcome to the Mudcat, and I hope you'll become a member: it's easy, free, spam-less, and you have the benefits of exchanging personal messages with other Mudcatters, tagging discussion threads you're interested in so you can follow them, and others I can't think of at the moment. Check the FAQ thread at the top of the list for more details.

Aloha,
