Hebrew Version

Kol od balevav penimah

Nefesh yehudi homiyah,

Ulfaatei mizrach kadimah

Ayin lezion zofiyah.

Od lo avdah tikvatenu

Hatikvah bat shnot alpayim,

Lehiyot am chofshi bearzeinu,

Erez zion viyerushalayim.

Lehiyot am chofshi bearzeinu,

Erez zion viyerushalayim

English Version

While yet within the heart - inwardly

The soul of the Jew yearns,

And towards the vistas of the East-eastwards

An eye to Zion looks.

'Tis not yet lost, our hope,

The hope of two thousand years,

To be a free people in our land

In the land of Zion and Jerusalem,

To be a free people in our land

In the land of Zion and Jerusalem
