כל עוד בלבב פנימה נפש יהודי הומיה, ולפאתי מזרח קדימה עין לציון צופיה -- עוד לא אבדה תקותנו, התקווה בת שנות אלפים, להיות עם חופשי בארצנו ארץ ציון וירושלים.

Bm                  Em Bm Kol 'od balevav P'nimah - Em      Bm C#7 F#7 Bm Nefesh Yehudi homiyah Em                      A7 D Ulfa'atey mizrakh kadimah Em      Bm C#7 F#7 Bm 'Ayin le'tzion tzofiyah -- G               A7      D 'Od lo avdah tikvatenu G               A7      D Hatikvah bat shnot alpayim: Em          Bm      Em A7 D Lihyot 'am khofshi be'artzenu - Em      Bm C#7 F#7 Bm Eretz Tziyon vi'rushalayim.

As long as in the heart, within, A Jewish soul still yearns, And toward the end of East An eye still watches toward Zion -- Our hope is not yet lost, The hope of two thousand years, To be a free nation in our own land, The land of Zion and Jerusalem.
