Jerusalem of Sefarad
Tip a golden chalice over stone walls
And let it turn the river into kiddush wine.
Once again, there are more parables
In the walled city than Jews.
Star and moon crossed in a ménage à trois,
And every man covered his head in modesty.
Their caps looked like difference
But were also exactly the same.
Sinagoga de Santa Caliph ha Levi.
חי, חי, חיים
You can’t really love two cities the same.
Sefarad, Safed, Saphah,
Saphon, Saphon,
Toledo - I will write your name with my left hand
For there’s a chance I’ve already forgotten you.
