Текст песни The Market (Joshua Davis) с переводом

off the plane in Tel Aviv

wading through security

no rivers here of milk and honey

taxi through the holy land,

«Where is it you’re going again?»

I reply. he wrings his hands

leaning in so close to me,

«Be careful», he whispers cautiously

I set off for the old city and the market

Washed away and built again

These walls that house the hopes of men

Oh, Jerusalem

neon, lights and oil lamps glow,

casting shadows on the ancient stone

I’m pulled in by the undertow

through corridors under the ground,

I follow a river of people down,

adrift among the sights and sounds

down on through the Damascus Gate,

sinking now with all this weight

can I swim free? is it too late?

Washed away and built again

These walls that house the hopes of men

Oh, Jerusalem

walking the Stations of the Cross,

the call to prayer at the Farthest Mosque

davening at the Temple-lost

I trap the air inside my lungs

climb on all these holy rungs

bite my lips and hold my tongue

climbing up the slippery rock

I gulp the air and try to talk

my heart upon the chopping block

Washed away and built again

These walls that house the hopes of men

Oh, Jerusalem
