Tnu lashemesh la'alot
Laboker le'ha'ir
Hazaka shebatfilot
Otanu lo tachzir
Let the sun rise
The morning give its light
The purest of prayers
Will not bring us back
Mi asher kava nero
U'Ve'Afar nitman
Bechi mar lo ya'iro
Lo yachziro le'chan
He who's candle was snuffed out
And was buried in the dust
Bitter cry wont wake him up
And wont bring him back
Ish otanu lo yashiv
Mibor tachtit a'fel
Kan lo yo'ilu
Lo simcha hanitzahon
Velo shirei hallel
Nobody will bring us back
From a dead and darkened pit
Here, neither the victory cheer
Nor songs of praise will help
Lachen rak shiru, shir lashalom
Al tilchashu tfila
Lachen rak shiru, shir lashalom
Bitze'aka gdola
Just sing a song for peace
Do not whisper a prayer
Just sing a song for peace
In a loud shout
Tnu lashemesh lahador
Miba'ad laprachim
Al tabitu le'achor
Hanichu la'holchim
Allow the sun to penetrate
Through the flowers
Don't look back
Let go of those departed
S'u eina'yim betikva
Lo derech kavanot
Shiru shir la'ahava
Velo lamilhamot
Lift your eyes with hope
Not through the rifles' sights
Sing a song for love
And not for wars
Al tagidu yom yavo
Havi'u et hayom
Ki lo halom hu
Uve'kol hakikarot
Hari'u lashalom
Don't say the day will come
Bring on that day
Because it is not a dream
And in all the city squares
Cheer for peace
