Israel
"Hatikvah"
(The Hope)


HEBREW LYRICS

Kol od balevav penimah
Nefesh yehudi homiyah,
Ulfaatei mizrach kadimah
Ayin lezion zofiyah.
Od lo avdah tikvatenu
Hatikvah bat shnot alpayim,
Lehiyot am chofshi bearzeinu,
Erez zion viyerushalayim.
Lehiyot am chofshi bearzeinu,
Erez zion viyerushalayim.


ENGLISH TRANSLATION

As long as deep in the heart,
The soul of a Jew yearns,
And towards the East
An eye looks to Zion,
Our hope is not yet lost,
The hope of two thousand years,
To be a free people in our land,
The land of Zion and Jerusalem.
