Lyrics

Ata ko'ev et ha'olam
Al chesbon ke'ev ha'am
Yesh hamon drachim limchot
Ach shelli lo nechonot
Kach ata choshev
Ko'ev halev
Rak tavin, al tikara
Zo derech hatorra, zo derech hatorra

Ata besarri, atsmi
Ken ata achi, ata dammi
Shvil ehad shuv yovil el hathia
Ata hinch ami
Veshutaf ata tmid immi
Rak tvin Israel he gam shelli
Gam shelli, gam shelli

Lamrot Kol elef vikuchim
Israel tmid achim
Yad noshit be'et tzara
Gam la'ach shebagolla
Rak im neda lishmor
Yachdav nigbor
Kol oyev kol mazik
Et ha'olam nashtik, et ha'olm nashtik

Ata besarri, atsmi
Ken ata achi, ata dammi
Shvil ehad shuv yovil el hathia
Ata hinch ami
Veshutaf ata tmid immi
Rak tvin Israel he gam shelli
Gam shelli, gam shelli

English translation

You feel the world's pain
More than the nation's pain
There are lots of ways to protest
But mine isn't right
That's what you think
The heart hurts
Just understand, don't fall upset
That's the religion way, that's the religion way...

You are my flesh, myself
Yes, you are my brother
One road will lead us again to the hope
You are my nation
And you always my partner
Just understand - Israel is also mine
Is also mine...

Despite 1000 arguments
Israel are brothers
We will give a hand
To the brothers outside
Only if we can keep
We can fight
Any enemy
We can hush the world

You are my flesh, myself
Yes, you are my brother
One road will lead us again to the hope
You are my nation
And you always my partner
Just understand - Israel is also mine
Is also mine...
