Im Eshkacheichאִם אֶשְׁכָּחֵךְ |
Edit Song • Discussion • History • Print |
Im eshkachech Yerushalayim tishkach yemini. Tidbak l’shoni l’chiki im lo ezkerechi,
im lo e’aleh et Yerushalayim al rosh simchati. | אִם אֶשְׁכָּחֵךְ יְרוּשָׁלָיִם, תִּשְׁכַּח יְמִינִי.
תִּדְבַּק לְשׁוֹנִי לְחִכִּי אִם לֹא אֶזְכְּרֵכִי, אִם לֹא אַעֲלֶה אֶת יְרוּשָׁלַֽיִם עַל רֹאשׁ שִׂמְחָתִי. |
Translation:If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand wither; Let my tongue stick to my palate if I cease to think of you,
if I do not keep Jerusalem in memory even at my happiest hour. | |
Information:Psalms 137:5-6
Both Tunes are often used to introduce Shir Hama'alot | |
