HADEGEL SHELI
MY FLAG
 

Ani vegam hasavta
Yashavnu po betzavta
Al hasafsal shebagina

Vesavta shuv chozeret
Veshuv hi mesaperet
Ma shehaya lifney hamedina

Et yishuvim banta hi
Migdal gader shel tayil
Uvalelot shamra mipney oyev

BeDafna veChanita

El hamigdal hibita
Veshara im kulam mitoch halev

Chorus:
Hadegel sheli hu kachol velavan
Etmol hayom vegam machar

Hadegel sheli hu kachol velavan

Kmo hayam vehamidbar

Hayom hakol poreach
Gadel umitpateach
Ro'a velo ma'amina.

Vehi tamid chozeret
Tzocheket ve'omeret
Asur lishkoach et hamangina

Chorus:
Hadegel sheli hu kachol velavan
Etmol hayom vegam machar

Hadegel sheli hu kachol velavan
Kmo hayam vehamidbar

My grandma and I
sat here together
on a bench in the garden


And she tells me
and tells me over again
how it was before the country was born.


When she built settlements,
a tower and a wire fence,

At night she guarded against the enemy,

in the kibutzim of Dafna and Chanita
she looked at the
Tower
and sang with all her heart.


Chorus:
My flag is blue and white,
yesterday, today and tomorrow


My flag is blue and white
like the sea and the desert


Today every thing blooms,
grows and develops

I see and I don't believe.

She keeps on repeating,
she laughs and says:
"Do not forget this melody".


Chorus:
My flag is blue and white,
yesterday, today and tomorrow


My flag is blue and white
like the sea and the desert
