Israel National Anthem Lyrics

Israel

Latin Transliteration

Kol od balevav penimah

nefesh Yehudi homiyah

Ulefa-atej mizrach kadimah

'ayin LeTsion, tsofiah.


Od lo awvdah tikwatenu

ha'tikvah bat sh'not alpayim

liheyot am chofsi beartsenu

erets Tsion birushalayim.

(repeat previous two lines)

English:

So long as still within our breasts
The Jewish heart beats true,
So long as still towards the East,
To Zion, looks the Jew,
So long our hopes are not yet lost
Two thousand years we cherished them
To live in freedom in the land
Of Zion and Jerusalem.
