Eurovision 1979 Austria:
Christina Simon - "Heute in Jerusalem"
Heute in Jerusalem
Erhebt euch, tut ab den Schlaf
In dieser Zeit der bitteren Früchte
Übt Freunde eure Wachsamkeit
Dem Weinen und der Angst zu wehren
Seht, aus der Kühle hoher Luft
Da fallen hundert Monde
Als Zeichen für den Neubeginn
Als Sinn wider den Widersinn
Und heute in Jerusalem
Endlich in Jerusalem
Atem holen und besinnen
Und heute in Jerusalem
Friede für Jerusalem
Seht, aus der Kühle hoher Luft
Da fallen hundert Monde
Als Zeichen für den Neubeginn
Als Sinn wider den Widersinn
Und heute in Jerusalem
Endlich in Jerusalem
Atem holen und besinnen
Und heute in Jerusalem
Friede für Jeruѕаlem
Today in Jerusalem
Get up, lay down the sleep
In this time of bitter fruits
Friend, be vigilant
To fight against the crying and tears
Look, from the cold high sky
Fall a hundred moons
As a sign for the new beginning
As a sense against the nonsense
And today in Jerusalem
Finally in Jerusalem
Take breath and reflect
Today in Jerusalem
Peace for Jerusalem
Look, from the cold high sky
Fall a hundred moons
As a sign for the new beginning
As a sense against the nonsense
And today in Jerusalem
Finally in Jerusalem
Take breath and reflect
Today in Jerusalem
Peace for Jeruѕаlem
Jerusalem
It came along just like this song
Just right in time to save our planet
No reason why the world should cry
Why fears and tears should never die
Far, far away and yet so close
Where space and time surrender
That magic here we've got within
Reveals the beauty of this dream
I'm singing of Jerusalem
My heart is ringing out this pain
Start to leave and long for peace
I'm singing of Jerusalem
Singing of Jerusalem
Far, far away and yet so close
Where space and time surrender
Before this world comes to an end
We watch and seek the Promised Land
I'm singing of Jerusalem
My heart is ringing out this pain
Start to leave and long for peace
I'm singing of Jerusalem
Singing of Jeruѕаlem
