pitom kam adam baboker
Suddenly a man rises in the morning
umargish ki hu am umatchil lalechet,
And feels that he is a people and begins to walk,
ulchal hanifgash bedarko kore hu shalom.
And to everyone he meets on his way he calls out peace.
deganim olim mul panayv mibeyn charitzey hamidrechet.
Grains rise before him from between the cracks of the pavement.
venichochot lerosho madifim atzey izdarechet.
And the scents of chinaberry trees waft over his head.
hatelalim rossim veherim, ribo karnayim,
The dews sprinkled and mountains, ten thousand rays,
hem yolidu chupat shemesh lichlulotayv.
They will bear a canopy of sun for his nuptials.

vehu tzochek gevurat dorot min heharim,
And he laughs the heroism of generations from the mountains,
venichlamot mishtachavot hamilchamot apayim,
And shamed wars prostrate themselves,
lehod elef shanim mefakot bamistarim,
Before the majesty of a thousand years bubbling in secret,
elef shanim tzeirot lefanayv
A thousand years young before him
kefeleg tzonen, keshir roim, keanaf.
Like a cool brook, like a shepherd's song, like a branch.

Suddenly a man rises in the morning
umargish ki hu am umatchil lalechet,
And feels that he is a people and begins to walk,
veroe ki chazar haaviv
And sees that spring has returned
vehorik shuv ilan min hashalechet.
And a tree has greened again from the falling leaves.
