Bilshonot rabot misfor dibarnu

Umekomot rabim me'od azavnu

Umekomot rabim me'od azavnu

Rechokim kvar hayotzim ikarim vachalutzim
She'amlu avdu baferech bli lir'ot et sof haderech
Veachshav ovrim anachnu lo shakatnu velo nachnu
Lo yamshichu biladenu zohi arpatkat chayenu
Migeta'ot umachanot hegachnu

Miktzot arav mirusia upolania

Umikol hagaluyot ve'im kol habe'ayot

Vesafa asher nirdama shuv hitchila

Misaviv yehom hasa'ar rav hakoshi vehatza'ar
Aval yesh al ma lismo'ach

En dit is de Engelse vertaling:
| We
spoke in many different languages and we didn't know each other We left many different places and only wanted and loved one place We came to this country The convoy keeps on coming since last century Farmers and pioneers who worked very hard not seeing the end of the road Now we come we will not rest we will participate this is our life's adventure We came from ghettos and camps to the desert and swamps From the Arab countries Russia and Poland We put a light in Dimona and Dgania *** And from all the other places we created a land a nation in spite of all the problems And a language that was dormant started to wake up and be spoken Big storms difficulties and sorrow are surrounding us But there is reasons to be happy there is still courage and strength |
