Chorus
Come and tour the land (literally: walk yourself through)

with your backpack and stick
and there on your journey
you'll rediscover the land of Israel

The paths will embrace you
of this good country
she will call you to her
like a love song

This is the land
this is the earth,
the rock will burn
and explode in the heat.

Under the ashfalt
and the buildings
the homeland is hiding,
shy and modest.

Chorus
Come and tour the land

with your backpack and stick
and there on your journey
you'll rediscover the land of Israel


The olive trees
and the springs of water,
yet again we guard the dream
and her old dream.

The red roofs
and children in the streets
in the place that we walked
with our backpacks.

Chorus
Come and tour the land

with your backpack and stick
and there on your journey
you'll rediscover the land of Israel

The song encourages people to get out of the fast paced city and visit the natural beauty of Israel.
