“What do I do next?” said the Bishop to the Priest,
“I have spent my whole life waiting, preparing for the
Feast,
And now you say Jerusalem has fallen and is lost,
The King of Heathen Saracen has seized the holy
cross.”
Then the Priest said “Oh my Bishop, we must put them
to the sword,
For God in all his mercy will find a just reward,
For the Noblemen and sinners, and Knights of ready
hand
Who will be the Lord’s Crusader, send word throughout
all the land,
Jerusalem is lost,
Jerusalem is lost,
Jerusalem is lost;”
“Tell me what to do”, said the King upon his throne,
“but speak to me in whispers for we are not alone,
They tell me that Jerusalem has fallen to the hand
Of some bedevilled Eastern heathen who has seized the
Holy land;”
Then the Chamberlain said “Lord, we must call upon our
foes
In Spain and France and Germany to end our bitter
wars,
All Christian men must be as one and gather for the
fight,
You will be their leader, begin the battle cry,
Jerusalem is lost,
Jerusalem is lost,
Jerusalem is lost”…
Ooh, high on a hill, in the town of Jerusalem,
There stood Saladin, the King of the Saracens,
Whoring and drinking and snoring and sinking, around
him his army lay,
Secure in the knowledge that they had won the day;
A messenger came, blood on his feet and a wound in his
chest,
“The Christians are coming!” he said, “I have seen
their Cross in the West,”
In a rage Saladin struck him down with his knife
And he said “I know that this man lies,
They quarrel too much, the Christians could never
unite!
I am invincible, I am the King,
I am invincible, and I will win…”
Close they came, the army of Richard the Lionheart,
Marching by day and night, with soldiers from every
part,
And when the Crusaders came over the mountain and they
saw Jerusalem,
They fell to their knees and prayed for her release;
They started the battle at dawn, taking the city by
storm,
With horsemen and bowmen and engines of war,
They broke through the city walls,
The Heathens were flying and screaming and dying,
And the Christian swords were strong,
And Saladin ran when he heard their victory song;
“We are invincible, God is the King,
We are invincible, and we will win!”
“What do I do now?” said the Wiseman to the Fool,
“I have spent my whole life waiting, to find the
Golden Rule,
Though centuries have disappeared, the memory still
remains
Of those enemies together, could it be that way
again?”
Then the Fool said “Oh you Wise men, you really make
me laugh,
With your talk of vast persuasion and searching
through the past,
There is only greed and evil in the men that fight
today,
The Song of the Crusader has long since gone away,
Jerusalem is lost,
Jerusalem is lost,
Jerusalem is lost…
Jerusalem
الأحبة ما قرأتموه ليس قصة من قصص أجاثا كريستي ولا رواية من روايات شكسبير
بل كلمات أغنية ؟ نعم إنها أغنية وليست الغرابة هنا فالأغاني الغربية الآن أصبحت موضة شبابنا مع الأسف
ولكن الغرابة التي نزلت على رأسي ورؤسنا جميعاً أنها أغنية تذم صلاح الدين الأيوبي محرر بيت المقدس وتصفه بالسكير وتتحدث عن الألم والحزن الذي تعاني منه القدس وقتها وتصرخ لمن ينصرها بعد أن ضاعت …
الداهية أن المغنية عربية نعم إنها عربية الهوية لبنانية يستمع لها ومعجب بها الكثير من أبنائنا وبناتنا انها اليسا
وقد ترجمت اغنيتها بالعربي وهذا معناها
قال الاسقف للكاهن: ماذا عملت لقدومي ؟؟
لقد افنيت حياتي بالكامل وانا انتظر واستعد لقدوم العيد .
What do I do next?” said the Bishop to the Priest,
“I have spent my whole life waiting, preparing for the
Feast,
والآن تقول القدس سقطت ووضاعت
And now you say Jerusalem has fallen and is lost,
الملك الوثني إستولى على القدس الصليبيه ..
The King of Heathen Saracen has seized the holy
cross
يقول الكاهن مستدركا: ايها الاسقف .. يجب ان نحكّم السيف ..
Then the Priest said “Oh my Bishop, we must put them
to the sword
بحق الله وبحق رحمته ستجد من النبلاء والمخطئين والفرسان من يكونون على استعداد
(اشن الحرب)
For God in all his mercy will find a just reward,
For the Noblemen and sinners, and Knights of ready
hand
سيكون اللورد الصليبي من سيرسل الدعوة لجميع انحاء الارض
Who will be the Lord’s Crusader, send word throughout
all the land,
القدس ضاعت
القدس ضاعت
القدس ضاعت
Jerusalem is lost,
Jerusalem is lost,
Jerusalem is lost…
قال الملك وهو جاس على عرشه : اخبرني مالعمل؟؟
(لكنه همس لي بأننا لسنا لوحدنا)
اخبرني البعض ان من سقطت القدس في يده هو شرقي وثني !!
واستولى على الارض المقدسه !!
Tell me what to do”, said the King upon his throne,
“but speak to me in whispers for we are not alone,
They tell me that Jerusalem has fallen to the hand
Of some bedevilled Eastern heathen who has seized the
Holy land
قال تشامبرلن( ايها اللورد, نحن يجب ان ندعو المقاتلين من
اسبانيا وفرنسا والمانيا لانهاء هذه الحرب
كل الرجال المسيحيين يجب ان يكونوا كشخص واحد للقتال.
انت (ايها اللورد) سوف تكون قائدهم..
تقرع طبول الحرب …
Then the Chamberlain said “Lord, we must call upon our
foes
In Spain and France and Germany to end our bitter
wars,
All Christian men must be as one and gather for the
fight,
You will be their leader, begin the battle cry
القدس ضائعة
القدس ضائعة
القدس ضائعة
Jerusalem is lost,
Jerusalem is lost,
Jerusalem is lost”…
وفي القدس .. وفوق التل العالي ..
يقف صلاح الدين ملك ال (Saracens)
يزني .. ويشرب الخمر ويشخر ويحوم حول جيشه
Ooh, high on a hill, in the town of Jerusalem,
There stood Saladin, the King of the Saracens,
Whoring and drinking and snoring and sinking, around
him his army lay,
Secure in the knowledge that they had won the day;
جاء رسول ..والدم على اقدامه وفيه جرح على صدره
وقال: المسيحيون قادمون .. لقد رأيت صليبهم من ناحية الغرب ..
A messenger came, blood on his feet and a wound in his
chest,
“The Christians are coming!” he said, “I have seen
their Cross in the West,”
فيضربه صلاح الدين بسكين في صدره بغضب ويسقطه ارضا
ثم قال: انا اعرف ان هذا الرجل يكذب
المسيحيون بينهم خلافات كثيرة ولايمكن ان يتحدوا ..
In a rage Saladin struck him down with his knife
And he said “I know that this man lies,
They quarrel too much, the Christians could never
unite
انا القوي انا الملك
انا القوي وسوف انتصر
I am invincible, I am the King,
I am invincible, and I will win…”
إاغلق البوابة .. لقد جاءوا.. جيش ريتشارد قلب الأسد
زحف بجيشه ليلا ونهارا وجاء بجيشه من كل صوب ..
Close they came, the army of Richard the Lionheart,
Marching by day and night, with soldiers from every
part,
وعندما جاء الصليبيون من ناحية الجبل ورأوا القدس
جثوا على ركبهم وصلوا لله من اجل اطلاق سراحها ..
And when the Crusaders came over the mountain and they
saw Jerusalem,
They fell to their knees and prayed for her release;
بدأوا الحرب عند الفجر..
بوجود الخيالة ورماة السهام وادوات الحرب
قاموا بهدم اسوار المدينة .
They started the battle at dawn, taking the city by
storm,
With horsemen and bowmen and engines of war,
They broke through the city walls,
الوثنيون كانوا يتطايرون ويصرخون ويموتون
فقد كانت سيوف المسيحيين قوية ..
The Heathens were flying and screaming and dying,
And the Christian swords were strong,
وهرب صلاح الدين حين سمعهم يغنون :
And Saladin ran when he heard their victory song
نحن اقوياء .. الله الملك
نحن اقوياء وسوف ننتصر
“We are invincible, God is the King,
We are invincible, and we will win
قال وايزمان للاحمق : ماذا افعل الآن ؟؟
لقد امضيت كامل حياتي وانا بانتظار ان اعثر
على القاعدة الذهبية !!!
“What do I do now?” said the Wiseman to the Fool,
“I have spent my whole life waiting, to find the
Golden Rule
حتى لو انقرضت اجيال واجيال ..فان التاريخ سوف يبقي اولئك الاعداء
مع بعضهم البعض .. هل من الممكن ان يكونوا كذالك مرة اخرى ؟؟
Though centuries have disappeared, the memory still
remains
Of those enemies together, could it be that way
again?”
ثم قال الاحمق : انت رجل حكيم ..لقد جعلتني اضحك
من كلامك الذي تتحدث فيه عن الماضي ..
هناك شي من الشر في الرجال الذين يقاتلون اليوم
اغنية الصليبي خرجت الى الاسماع منذ مدة طويلة !!!
Then the Fool said “Oh you Wise men, you really make
me laugh,
With your talk of vast persuasion and searching
through the past,
There is only greed and evil in the men that fight
today,
The Song of the Crusader has long since gone away,
القدس ضائعة
القدس ضائعة
القدس ضائعة
Jerusalem is lost,
Jerusalem is lost,
Jerusalem is lost…
