Ne'elmah la had'mamah, shuv kolot hamilchamah, od chayal chozer atuf bemah? bedegel hamedinah dam vedim'ah nisfagim ba'adamah Od imah hamumah, nisharah lah rak tmunah, t'tikvah balev noel, im chazak lo nitkapel, ki lo nolad haben zonah sheya'atsor et yisrael. Ten li t'tikvah lekabel ma she'ein et hakoach leshanot ma sheken. Bo'u namshich hachaim lefaneinu lo meuchar ki machar yom chadash hachalom yigava im ne'abed et hatikvah az hoshitu yad l'ahavah.

Bou namshich hachaim lefaneinu lo meuchar ki machar yom chadash hachalom yegava im ne'abed et hatikvah az hoshitu yad l'ahavah.	I saw how many they went Too many of them did not return Friends separated, houses broken, tears of families spilled Buds of people flowers that didn't flower The hope in our heads, the love in our hearts, the dream in our spirits so we continue in our path. The silence has disappeared for it, again sounds of war Another soldier returns, wrapped in what? In the flag of the country Blood and tears absorbed by the land And another shocked mother is left with just a picture The hope is locked in the heart, the strong nation will not fold over Because the son of a bitch that can stop Israel has not been born. Give me the hope to accept what there isn't The strength to change what there is. Come let's continue, our life is in front of us It's not late because tomorrow is a new day The dream will perish if we lose the hope So reach out to love. You promised a dove, in the sky there's a hawk Brother, poisonous twig pricks, this is not an olive branch Living in a dream, everybody talks about peace But they shoot, oppress, pull, squeeze the trigger In a world of suicide attacks, the people are still talking Living in an illusion of righteousness, they widen the rift in the nation. Pass madness every day in order to survive Don't want to live in order to fight, Sub fights in order to live Plant hope, sends out roots Shield in my body for the dream so it won't be shattered to splinters Enough, enough with the hurt, enough with the tears A year that the land bleeds not sleeping and why? Give me the hope to accept what there isn't The strength to change what there is. Come let's continue, our life is in front of us It's not late because tomorrow is a new day The dream will perish if we lose the hope So reach out to love G-d, give me the hope to accept what there isn't Give me the courage to try to fix the world. Come let's continue, our life is in front of us It's not late because tomorrow is a new day The dream will perish if we lose the hope So reach out to love G-d, give me the hope to accept what there isn't Give me the strength to change what is Give me the courage to try to fix the world. Come let's continue, our life is in front of us It's not late because tomorrow is a new day The dream will perish if we lose the hope So reach out to love.
