HA TIKVA THE HOPE (Israel's National Anthem)

Hebrew TRANSLITERATION:

Kol od balevav p'nimah
Nefesh Yehudi homiyah

Ulfa'atey mizrach kadimah
Ayin l'tzion tzofiyah

Od lo avdah tikvatenu
Hatikvah bat shnot alpayim

L'hiyot am chofshi b'artzenu
Eretz Tzion v'Yerushalayim

L'hiyot am chofshi b'artzenu
Eretz Tzion v'Yerushalayim



English TRANSLATION:

As long as deep in the heart
The soul of a Jew yearns

And forward to the East
To Zion, an eye looks

Our hope will not be lost
The hope of two thousand years

To be a free nation in our land
The land of Zion and Jerusalem

To be a free nation in our land
The land of Zion and Jerusalem
