HATIKVAH (listen to the song)

Kol od Baleivav p'nima
Nefesh Yehudi homiya
Ul'fa'atey Mizrach kadima
Ayin l'tzion tzofiya

Od lo av'da tikvataynu
Hativkva sh'not alpayim
Lih'yot am chofshi b'artzaynu
B'eretz tzion virushalayim


Translation: So long as still within the innermost heart a Jewish Spirit sings, so long as the eye looks eastward, gazing toward Zion, our hope is not lost- that hope of two millennia, to be a free people in our land, the land of Zion and Jerusalem.
