Hatikvah

  • Here is the text in Hebrew with the accompanying transliteration and translation in English:

כל עוד בלבב פנימה
נפש יהודי הומיה,
ולפאתי מזרח קדימה
עין לציון צופיה -

עוד לא אבדה תקותנו,
התקווה בת שנות אלפים,
להיות עם חופשי בארצנו
ארץ ציון וירושלים.

Kol 'od balevav P'nimah -
Nefesh Yehudi homiyah
Ulfa'atey mizrakh kadimah
'Ayin le'tzion tzofiyah --

'Od lo avdah tikvatenu
Hatikvah bat shnot alpayim:
Lihyot 'am khofshi be'artzenu -
Eretz Tziyon vi'rushalayim.

As long as in the heart, within,
A Jewish soul still yearns,
And toward the end of East
An eye still watches toward Zion --

Our hope is not yet lost,
The hope of two thousand years,
To be a free nation in our own land,
The land of Zion and Jerusalem.
