kol od balevav p'nimah
nefesh yehudi homiyah
ulfa'atey mizrach kadimah
ayin l'tzion tzofiyah
od lo avdah tikvatenu
hatikvah bat shnot alpayim
l'hiyot am chofshi b'artzenu
eretz tzion v'yerushalayim
---
as long as deep in the heart,
the soul of a jew yearns,
and forward to the east
to zion, an eye looks
our hope will not be lost,
the hope of two thousand years,
to be a free nation in our land,
the land of zion and jerusalem.
