HAMA'AVAK

Rotzah legalot she'ibadnu t'aderech,
rotzah lada'at lamah ve'eich,
lehavin shenisinu hakol lo be'erech,
matai hasiyut ha'ayom yimashech.
Rotzah legalot shehakol kvar nigmar,
rotzah lichyot ha'avar avar,
ulai he'atid tzavu'a varod,
saradnu lamadnu lo rotzim et zeh od.

Achi, hama'avak nim'shach veshuv od delet nis'geret
ani cholem al hashalom im ha'oyev bakavenet

aval pote'ach ta'iton veshuv kore al od retzach
ach lo avdah haderech, lo avdah hatikvah
basof yihyeh beseder im lechol davar yesh sibah

bo nif'tach et ha'einaim venenaseh la'azor
lo nefached mehapachad vena'atzor - avor

Ein shalom bechol mechir, hakol bil'ti sadir

Rotzah legalot shehakol kvar nigmar,
