Verse 1
Your snow and my rainfall,
Your wadi and my river
Finally meet on an Israeli beach.

Chorus:
With all the dreams and the longings,
With all the memories, good and bad,
In a new/old song,
that celebrates the wonders,
How good it is, and how pleasant.

With a Greek step and a Polish accent,
With a Yemenite twirl and a Roman violin,

Who am I? Who am I? Yes, me!
My God, Dear God - an Israeli song.

Verse 2
Your valley and my mountain,
Your forest and my desert,
Finally meet in an Israeli landscape.

Chorus:
With all the dreams and the longings....


My "lamed" and your "chet",
My "ayin" and your "reish"
Finally meet with an Israeli drum beat.

Chorus:
With all the dreams and the longings....
