yesh li eretz mevorechet ufrichot rabot yesh lah
I have a blessed land with many blossoms
uvtoch libi poretet al nimey haneshama
And within my heart it plucks the strings of my soul
eretz shel shitim omdim, lochashim shir ahava
A land of acacias standing, whispering a love song
mimidbar vead hakineret lecha nishzeret mangina
From the desert to the Kinneret a melody was woven for you
az bou nevarech lechayim
So let us raise a toast to life
letikva, leahava
To hope, to love
lechayim tovim yoter
To better lives
leyamim yafim yoter
To more beautiful days
yachad
Together
yesh li eretz meshoreret haitim achshav kashot
I have a land of poets, times are hard now
veshura achat chozeret, lama ish leish pachot
And one line keeps returning - why does one give less to another
yesh li eretz mechura shel echad veshel kulam
I have a homeland belonging to one and to all
lama ze kevar lo noshevet rucha ahavat adam
Why does the wind of human love no longer blow here
yesh li eretz od cholemet, eretz shel harbe zerichot
I have a land that still dreams, a land of many dawns
vaani lah or shel techelet, emuna venitzotzot
And I am to her a light of blue, faith and sparks
yesh li yam vegam cholot, uvatim im tinokot
I have a sea and I have sands, and homes with infants
hen efshar lichyot acheret po bechemdat haavot
Yes it is possible to live differently here in the cherished land of our fathers
