A land - light blue sky without a cloud
And the sun is like milk and honey.
A country we were born in and live in,
And we will continue living here no matter what happens.A country we love, like our mum and dad,
A people's country for ever,
A country we were born in and live in,
no matter what happens.A country with sea and shores,
A lot of flowers and children,
In the North the Sea of Galilee
In the South sands
And the East border kisses the West border.
