Oh! Jerusalem my other half of Palestine
This Poem is dedicated to The Arab Jews Palestinians of Jerusalem, The Arab Muslims Palestinians of Jerusalem , The Arab Christians Palestinians of Jerusalem and to all who have been disposed of their homes, lands; For the ones in jail, the exiled, the ones still fighting in Israel courts to keep their homes, the ones beig harassed by the settlers and the occupying forces. But specially for the ones who died waiting for liberation, the ones who died fighting the occupation, for the martys, and for the those who have not yet born.
The Great City inside the Mother Land,
Jerusalem stands with patience, in silence,
With pain, with tears in her eyes,
Oh! Jerusalem the other half of Palestine.
The land of the Prophets, the land of prayers,
The land of peace, the of the brave, who knows no fear,
That is my city, my “Holy Land”
Oh! Jerusalem the other half of Palestine.
The tears of the sons have salted your waters.
The blood of the martyrs are part of your soil,
Their prayers are mixed with their cries
Oh! Jerusalem the other half of Palestine
Proud Jerusalem standing time
Your history is written with the reddest blood,
Your dreams and my dreams are all but one.
Oh! Jerusalem the other half of Palestine
Elegant dress you will have for tonight,
Full of colors,
to shine! my dreams of tomorrow,
“Dreams of Freedom”,
for peace to come,
Oh! Jerusalem the other half of Palestine.
The Warrior is blowing the trumpet of triumph
Victory is coming,
One day at the time,
Stand with patience,…on the green line
Oh! Jerusalem the other half of Palestine
