Old, Old Jerusalem
(Tom, Tom, the Piper’s Son)
Old, old Jerusalem,
it’s a blessed site for us and them,
the plants are blessed,
the land is blessed,
and animals are also blessed.
Old, Noble Sanctuary,
it’s a blessed site for you and me,
believers go
because they know
it has been blessed since long ago.
Old, old, Al-Aqsa hall,
it’s a blessed site for one and all,
let us go there,
and give our care,
and, like the prophets, offer prayer.
This nursery rhyme Old, Old Jerusalem is available on YouTube here.
