Od nashuva el nigun atik Vehazemer yif v'ye'erav Od gavia meshumar nashik, nashik Alizey einayim ve'levav
Tovo, tovu ohalenu Ki, ki machol hiftzi'a Tovo, tovu ohalenu Od nashuva el nigun atik |
Again we shall turn to the ancient melody And the song shall give us pleasure. We'll kiss the old, guarded glass With joyful eyes and heart.
Our tents are good, and the dance beckons Our tents are good Again we shall turn to the ancient song |
