The Hope (HaTikva)

Transliteration:
Kol od balevav penima ✡ Nefesh yehudi homiya. 

Ul’faatei mizrach, kadima ✡ Ayin L’Tziyon tzofyia. 

Od lo avda tikvateynu, ✡ Hatikvah bat sh'not al'payim. 

Lihiot am hofshi b’artzenu, ✡ Eretz Tziyon, Yerushalyim. 

Lihiot am hofshi b’artzenu, ✡ Eretz Tziyon, Yerushalyim. 

Lihiot am hofshi b’artzenu, ✡ Eretz Tziyon, Yerushalyim. 

Translation:
As long as it’s in the heart, a Jewish soul is groaning. And eastward an eye is gazing toward Zion. Our hope is not yet lost. The hope of 2000 years to be a free nation in our own land: the land of Zion and Jerusalem.
