(A song of longing--I saw a picture of Mevasseret Zion sitting in clouds (about six miles away from Jerusalem, where you can see it, where friends live. It reminded me of when I lived there. The English translation is retarded and it sounds better in the Hebrew. I still have dreams (in Hebrew).
(A song of longing) English (Hebrew, see below)

Yesh li od (I still have a dream)
Chalom

Ani sham, (I am there, there in my heart all of the day)
Sham, b'l'vi
Kol Hayom

B'mochi (In my mind, I sat/dwelled forever in that place)
Ani shavti
L'olam b'makom

V'garnu sham (We lived there by the sea in a land of peace)
Al yad hayam
b'eretz shalom

[Chorus]
Clouds in the distance
Glint of gold dome
all the resistance
Goes away
(As) I Go home (repeat)

יש... לי
עוד...
חלום

אני שם...
שם בלּבי...
כל יום...

במוחי...
אני שבתי
לעולם
במקום...

וגרנו שם...
על יד הים...
ובערץ שלום...
