Jerusalem in My Heart



This song is off of Fairuz's album entitled "Al Quds fi al Bal (القدس في البال)" or "Jerusalem in My Heart," which was released in 1971 a few years after the Arab armies had suffered a crushing defeat to Israel in 1967 and Israel occupied Jerusalem and the West Bank.
Fairuz is describing a scene of seeing Old Jerusalem, then envisioning what it must have been like before the Israelis came and took over many of the neighbourhoods and uprooted many of the families..
مريت بالشوارع ... شوارع القدس العتيقة
قدام الدكاكين ... البقيت من فلسطين
حكينا سوى الخبرية و عطيوني مزهرية
قالوا لي هيدي هدية من الناس الناطرين

و مشيت بالشوارع ... شوارع القدس العتيقة
اوقف عباب بواب صارت و صرنا صحاب
وعينيهن الحزينة من طاقة المدينة
تاخدني و توديني بغربة العذاب

كان في أرض و كان في ايدين عم بتعمر تحت الشمس و تحت الريح
و صار في بيوت و صار في شبابيك عم بتزهر صار في ولاد و بايديهم في كتاب
و بليل كلو ليل سال الحقد بفية البيوت

و الايدين السودا خلعت البواب و صارت البيوت بلا صحاب
بينن و بين بيوتن فاصل الشوك و النار و الايدين السودا

عم صرخ بالشوارع ... شوارع القدس العتيقة
خلي الغنيي تصير عواصف و هدير
يا صوتي ضلك طاير زوبع بهالضماير
خبرهن عللي صاير بلكي بيوعى الضمير

English version
OLD JERUSALEM

I passed through the streets the streets of Old Jerusalem
In front of the shops that remained of Palestine
We talked about what had happened together And they gave me a vase
They said to me this is a gift From the "waiting people"

And I walked the streets the streets of Old Jerusalem
I stood at the doorways we become companions
And their sad eyes of the city's energy
Take me and move me with the torment of feeling estranged

There was a land and there were hands building beneath the sun and the wind
And there were houses and windows Blossoming, and there were children with books in their hands

and in one night rage flowed into the houses
And the black hands unhinged the doors and the houses became ownerless
Between them and their houses barbed-wire fence and fire and the black hands

I'm screaming in the streets, the streets of Old Jerusalem
Let the songs storm and rumble, - O my voice continue to stir up
a hurricane with these consciences Now I know what happened to them
Perhaps my conscience will awaken

I think there is one word translated incorrectly

And their sad eyes of the city's energy

it is intended to say

And their sad eyes of the city's window

Lyrics Translation

Jérusalem


Al-Quds (en arabe القدس) est le nom arabe de Jérusalem, signifiant « la ville sainte ».
EL-QODS L'ANTIQUE

Je suis passé par les rues
Les rues d'El-Qods l’antique
Devant les boutiques
Celles qui restent de la Palestine
Nous avons discuté des nouvelles
Et ils m'offrirent un pot de fleurs
Ils m’ont dit c’est un présent
De la part des gens qui patientent

Et j’ai marché dans les rues
Les rues d'El-Qods l’antique
Je m'arrêtais devant des portes
Elles furent et nous fûmes amis
Et leurs yeux tristes
A cause de l’énergie de la ville (?)
Me transportent et me remmènent
Dans le déracinement du tourment

Il fut une Terre et il fut
Dans des mains qui cultivent
Qui cultivent
Sous le soleil et sous le vent
Et il advint dans des demeures et il advint
Dans des fenêtres qui fleurissent
Et il advint des enfants
Avec dans leurs mains, des livres

Mais de nuit, une nuit sombre
La haine coula sur les demeures
Et des mains sombres défoncèrent les portes
Et les demeures devinrent sans propriétaires
Entre eux et leur demeure, il fut la virgule
Des épines et du feu. Et les mains sombres…

Je hurle dans les rues
Les rues d'El-Qods l’antique
Laisse la chanson devenir
Tempête et déluge
Ô ma voix, porte au loin
Tempête sur ces consciences
Annonce-leur ce qui arrive
Peut-être que la conscience s’éveillera
