NIGUN ATIK
 ANCIENT MELODY
 

Od nashuva el nigun atik
Ve'hazemer yif ve'ye'erav
Od gavia meshumar nashik, nashik,
Alizei eiyanim ve'levav.

Tovu, tovu ohaleinu
ki, ki hamachol hif'tsia

Tovu, tovu ohaleinu
Od nashuva el nigun atik.

We will yet return to the ancient melody
And the song will continue
We'll raise another glass,
with bright and cheerful eyes.

Our tents are filled with goodness
because the dance lifts us up

Our tents are filled with goodness
as we return to the ancient melody.

Melodia Antiga
Ainda retomaremos a melodia antiga
e a canção se embelezará e se tornará agradável
ainda beijarei uma taça de vinho envelhecida
e alegrarei teus olhos e teu coração

Que boas, que boas são nossas cabanas
porque nelas a dança brota
Que boas, que boas são nossas cabanas
ainda retomaremos a melodia antiga.
