MY ISRAEL

Verse 1:
Land of sky and sea,

A flower in the desert,

Olives, wheat, barley and also honey,

Pomegranate, fig and dates.

Today is a birthday and a holiday

For the land of my forefathers.

In a sweeping hora we’ll break out in dance.

Together we’ll sing with no end.

Chorus:
Circles go round and round

Sing for the reveling.

Who is celebrating seventy years?

My Israel!

Light all the lights

Sing in the squares.

Raise up the flags

My Israel!

Verse 2:
We’ve returned to you here

From all corners of the world

We came to build and to be built,

Land of Israel.

A blue and white flag,

A Star of David your symbol,

Jerusalem your eternal capital,

A wreath of light on your head.

Chorus:
Circles go round and round

Sing for the reveling.

Who is celebrating seventy years?

My Israel!

Light all the lights

Sing in the squares.

Raise up the flags

My Israel!
