The Words

Translation


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
