Hatikvah

Hatikvah – Judd Grossman – (Imber/Cohen)

As long as the Jewish spirit is yearning deep in the heart
With eyes turned toward the East
looking toward Zion
Then our hope – the two-thousand-year-old hope – will not be lost:
To be a free people in our land
The land of Zion and Jerusalem.

Kol ode balevav
P’nimah -Nefesh Yehudi homiyah
Ulfa’atey mizrach kadimah
Ayin l’tzion tzofiyah
Ode lo avdah tikvatenu
Hatikvah bat shnot alpayim:
L’hiyot am chofshi b’artzenu –
Eretz Tzion v’Yerushalayim.
