Hebrew TRANSLITERATION:
Kol od balevav p'nimah
Nefesh Yehudi homiyah
Ulfa'atey mizrach kadimah
Ayin l'tzion tzofiyah
Od lo avdah tikvatenu
Hatikvah bat shnot alpayim
L'hiyot am chofshi b'artzenu
Eretz Tzion v'Yerushalayim
L'hiyot am chofshi b'artzenu
Eretz Tzion v'Yerushalayim
English TRANSLATION:
As long as deep in the heart
The soul of a Jew yearns
And forward to the East
To Zion, an eye looks
Our hope will not be lost
The hope of two thousand years
To be a free nation in our land
The land of Zion and Jerusalem
To be a free nation in our land
The land of Zion and Jerusalem
