| <pre>תנו לשמש לעלות
לבוקר להאיר,
הזכה שבתפילות
אותנו לא תחזיר.

מי אשר כבה נרו
ובעפר נטמן,
בכי מר לא יעירו
לא יחזירו לכאן.

איש אותנו לא ישיב
מבור תחתית אפל,
כאן לא יועילו
לא שמחת הניצחון
ולא שירי הלל.

לכן, רק שירו שיר לשלום
אל תלחשו תפילה
מוטב תשירו שיר לשלום
בצעקה גדולה.

תנו לשמש לחדור
מבעד לפרחים.
אל תביטו לאחור,
הניחו להולכים.

שאו עיניים בתקווה,
לא דרך כוונות
שירו שיר לאהבה
ולא למלחמות.

אל תגידו יום יבוא –
הביאו את היום!
כי לא חלום הוא
ובכל הכיכרות
הריעו רק שלום!

לכן, רק שירו שיר לשלום…
</pre>
| <pre>Let the sun rise
in the morning to shine,
the blessed one in prayers
will not bring us back.

Those whose lamp has gone out
and is buried in the dust,
will not be awakened
by bitter tears
nor brought back here.

No one will bring us back
from the dark pit,
neither the joy of victory
nor songs of praise will be of any use here.

Therefore, just sing a song of peace
don't whisper a prayer
it's better to sing a song of peace
with a loud shout.

Let the sun penetrate
through the flowers.

Don't look back,
let the passersby.

Lift up your eyes in hope,
not through intentions
sing a song of love
and not for wars.

Don't say a day will come –
bring the day!
For it is not a dream
and in all the squares
cheer only peace!

Therefore, just sing a song of peace…
</pre>
