Manebis O Jerusalem
Illam audi orationem
Cantat salam shalom paciem

Columbarum candidus grex
Levis candidus grex
Al... me... nia...!
Eajmalig en tamgo
Liriam damsi quiro
Tansa sanjixan lamli
Eagu ma al ah...
Hominum in corde manes
Manebis O Jerusalem
Illam audi orationem
Cantat salam shalom paciem
Salam shalom paciem

Olivarum alma terra
In cheulo tou pervolat
Columbarum candidus grex
Salam shalom paciem

The song "Solyma" by the artist Solyma is a beautiful and poetic ode to the city of Jerusalem. The lyrics speak of the eternal presence of the city in the hearts of all people, and the power of prayer and song to bring about peace. The first verse, "Hominum in corde manes, manebis O Jerusalem" roughly translates to "You remain in the heart of all people, O Jerusalem, and will always remain." The next lines, "Illam audi orationem, cantat salam shalom paciem, salam shalom paciem" mean "Listen to our prayer, sing peace and shalom (peace in Hebrew) - peace, shalom."
The second verse continues with the description of Jerusalem as a place of love and light, with the "alma terra" (nourishing earth) of the olive trees and the white flock of doves symbolizing purity and innocence. The following lines, "Eajmalig en tamgo, Liriam damsi quiro, Tansa sanjixan lamli, Eagu ma al ah..." are less clear in their meaning, but may be evoking a sense of mystical wonder and reverence for the city.
The chorus repeats the earlier lines about Jerusalem remaining in people's hearts, and the power of prayer and song to promote peace. The song ends with a few lines in a different language, perhaps indicating the universality of the message of peace and love found in this song.

Spirit in the heart of man
Abide in Yerušalayim
Hear her plaintive lamentation
Chanting: saalam, shalom, pacem
Saalam, shalom, pacem
Place of love and radiance
From olive bearing soil
To the heavens up above
On the wings of white doves
On a beam of bright light

Que pequeño que era cuando la escuché por primera vez.
Como me hacía imaginar tantas historias. La ponía solo para escuchar y comenzar a imaginar.
