aah aah, can
you see Jerusalem aah, can you
see JERUSALEM
aah try to
SEE Jerusalem far
far away –
it is Jerusalem
the distant thing of pure gold – |
aah I will
show my class
of five children
the only je-
rusalem –
but aah they will
not believe, before
they have seen, aah the
heavenly singing
jerusalem far
far away –
aah my little
class of five
children –!
there is the tower, the tow-
er, the tower, wherefrom
jerusalem can be seen –
but you must, you
and you –, you must
give your little coin,
which you have in your hands –
your little coin,
which you were given to buy mother
and sister and a house –
you must give your brown coin –!
so that you can go
up into the tower, aah the tow-
er, the tower, |
with the long
staircase and highest up
you can see JERUSALEM
down in the valley
far far
away in the distance
of pure gold –
in jerusalem, sing-
ing jerusalem
all children dance and
never sleep –
and tears are just love
there there
there – but
your little brown
coin you must give
each one of you in my
little class –
never be afraid
to lose little mother
and your little sister –
for aah
see! !
in jerusalem – there
alone is love –
