Hatikvah

Hatikvah is the national anthem of Israel. Here is the text in English.

As long as deep in the heart
The soul of a Jew is murmuring,
And to the edges of the East
And eye towards Zion is watching,
Still our hope is not lost,
The hope of two thousand years,
To be a free people in our land:
The land of Zion and Jerusalem.

Here is the text in Hebrew.

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

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

Kol od balevav P'nimah -
Nefesh Yehudi homiyah
Ulfa'atey mizrach kadimah
Ayin l'tzion tzofiyah.

Od lo avdah tikvatenu
Hatikvah bat shnot alpayim:
Li'hyot am chofshi b'artzenu -
Eretz Tzion v'Yerushalayim.
