National Anthem of Israel

HATIKVAH THE HOPE—THE NATIONAL ANTHEM OF ISRAEL

(TRANSLITERATION)

Kol od baleyvav penimah Nefesh Yehudi homiyah, Ulfa’asey mizrach kadimah Ayin leTziyon tzofiyah.

REFRAIN

Od lo avdah tikvateynu, Hatikvah shenot alpayim, Lihyot am chofshi be’artzeynu B’Eretz Tziyon V’Yerushalayim. (repeat last two lines)

(ENGLISH TRANSLATION)

So long as still within our breasts The Jewish heart beats true, So long as still towards the East To Zion, looks the Jew.

REFRAIN

So long as our hopes are not yet lost— Two thousand years we cherished them— To live in freedom in the Land Of Zion and Jerusalem.
