Due to the tension in the air and in honor of the upcoming Jerusalem Day, singer and music producer Udi Damari and radio broadcaster Ami Maimon entered the studio to record ‘The Guardian of the Walls’. The lyrics were written by Dan Almagor, the melody is by Bnei Negri and the musical arrangement and production was performed by Udi Damari
Lyrics:
House A:
I’m standing on the wall
Standing in the rain alone and the whole old town
Lying on my palm I look at her in love
I always come up here just to look
But now I’m here on duty
But now I’m here on duty.
House B:
I’m standing on the wall
Standing listening to the voices
The voices of the market and the commotion
Street vendor calls and carts
Here is the voice of the prayers
Here’s the bell ringing but I have to listen
If there is no grenade explosive
If there is no grenade explosive.
House C:
I’m standing on the wall
Shivering and looking here the sun has already set
Keeps the night away from the full moonlight night
Washing walls and gates when the day comes
We will no longer need guards
We will no longer need guards.
ditty:
Yes, yes, who dreamed then in class
When we learned to recite on your walls Jerusalem
I deposited guards
May a day come and I will be one of them
May a day come and I will be one of them
May a day come and I will be one of them.
