HATIKVAH
So long as still within our breasts
The Jewish heart beats true,
So long as still towards the East,
To Zion, looks the Jew,
So long our hopes are not yet lost,
Two thousand years we cherished them,
To live in freedom in the Land of Zion and Jerusalem
Hebrew Transliteration:
Kol od ba-le-vav pe-ni mah ne-fesh ye-hu-di ho-mi-yah U-le-fa-a-tey
miz-rah ka-di-mah a-yin le-Tzi-yon tzo-fi-yah, Od to av’-dah tik-va-te
nu, Ha-tik-vah bat sh’not al-pa-yim, Li-h’yot am hof-shi be-ar tze-nu,
E-retz Tzi-yon vi-ru-sha-la-yim. Li-h’yot am hof-shi be-ar tze-nu, E
retz tzi-yon vi-ru-sha-la-yim
