YIesh li - eretz tropit yafa

Bechol shaná (kol shaná)
Yesh carnaval (yesh carnaval)
yesh guitara dei tová
Ve'ahavá sheshmá,
im lo shamatá, Tereza

Ulai b'etzem
Ani bichlal rak yeled misken, misken

Aval etzli baba'it ani habos
Ani hachok, ani hamelech, ken ken
Veha'chul'tza sheli hi degel
Ahavá vecarnaval vecadureguel

I have a beautiful tropical country
Which the sun touched.
I have an everlasting sea, every second.

Every year
there's a carnival.
I've got a pretty good guitar
And a love whose name,
if you haven't heard, is Theresa.

Actually, maybe
I'm just a poor wanderer.

But at home I'm the boss,
I'm the law, I'm the king! Yes yes
And my shirt is a flag
Of love and carnivals and soccer.
