Слушать(AI)If I Forget Thee Jerusalem
If I forget thee,
Jerusalem,
Then let my right be forgotten.
Let my right be forgotten, and my left remember.
Let my left remember, and your right
And your mouth open near the gate.

Will forget my left.
If the west wind does not comeI'll never forgive the walls,
Or the sea, or myself.
Should my right
My left shall forgive,
I shall forget all water,
I shall forget my mother.
If I forget thee,
Jerusalem,
Let my blood be forgotten.
I shall touch your forehead,
Forget my own,
My voice
For the second and last
To the most terrible of voices —Or silence.
