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.
