BA'ARETZ HAZOT IN THIS COUNTRY
   

Gam ani noladeti ba'aretz hazot
Vehalachti le'orka ulerochba
Gam avi chalam al ha'aretz hazot
Harbe shanim lifney she'hu ba

Gam ani niganti ba'aretz hazot
Shirim shenavtu me'admata
Gam ani heganti al ha'aretz hazot
Im hiskamti o lo, halachti ita

Ach yesh ka'ele shelokchim monopol al hachochma
Hem yod'im yoter tov mimeni
Hem yod'im yoter tov mimcha
Ma tov bishvili, ma tov bishvilcha

Gam ani lamadeti ba'aretz hazot
Ahavat moledet, ahava tama
Gam ani ibadeti al ha'aretz hazot
Chaverim she'hayu li nechama

Gam ani niganti ba'aretz hazot
Shirim shenavtu me'admata
Gam ani heganti al ha'aretz hazot
Im hiskamti o lo, himshachti ita

Ach yesh...

I was born in this country, as well
And walked its length and width
My father dreamt about this country, as well
Years before he came here

I too played songs that sprouted in its soil
I too defended this country,
And I stayed with her,
whether I agreed or not

But there are some that take monopoly on wisdom
They know better than I
They know better than you
What is good for me and you

I too learnt in this country
What is country love, innocent love
I also lost in this country,
friends that used to comfort me

I too played songs that sprouted in its soil
I too defended this country,
And I continued with her,
whether I agreed or not  

But there are some.....
