Hatikvah
Flag of the State of Israel
Kol-od ba-le-vav p'ni-ma
Nefesh Y’hu-di ho-mi-ya.

UI’fa-atey miz-rach ka-dima

Ayin l’-Tzi-yon, tzo-fi-ya.

Od lo av-da tik-va-tey-nu
Ha-tik-va sh’not al-pa-yim

Li-yot am chaf-shi b’-artzenu

B’eretz Tzi-yon viru-shalayim.

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

And towards the East

An eye looks to Zion,

Our hope is not yet lost,

The hope of two thousand years,

To be a free people in our land,

The land of Zion and Jerusalem.
