Lyrics:
“da-bru al layv Yerushalayim”
Speak to the heart of Jerusalem
“v’-ki-roo ay-ley-ha”
and call to her
“Kee mal’-ah tz’-va-ah”
her period of exile has been completed
“kee nir-tzah a’-vo-nah”
for her iniquity has been forgiven
“kee lak’-khah mee-yad mee-yad Hashem”
for she has taken from the hand of the Lord
“kif’-la-yeem b’-khol kha-to-teyha”
double for all her sins
“na-kha-mu na-kha-mu a-mee”
“Comfort, comfort my people,”
“na-kha-mu na-kha-mu yo-mar E’-lo-kay-khem”
“comfort, comfort,” says your God.
