Lamentation for Zion
I have come to cry for
Zion
Upon this ruin of Temple
Where works of our ancestors sat
despoiled
I have come to cry for Zion
Inside the fallen
Tower of Destiny
Where dreams of our brothers lay perverted
Our
fatherland is no more
Our motherland is gone
Our people are
broken
Our heroes speak no more
Our prophets are silent
Oh
Zion! Zion, our motherland
When will I see you again?
How shall
I behold the rite of our fathers without you?
The Sacred rites of
our people?
Oh Zion! Zion, our fatherland
When will I see
you again?
How can I remain pure for our people?
Protect the
unbreakable tradition
Oh Zion! Zion
Who will look after
you?
Who will look after us?
