kamash shanim nizrech od lamut
lifnei shenilmad eich l'chyot
V'kamah namshich l'chakot l'shalom
Im zayit v'shtei charavot
V'kamah eitzim y'rokim yisarfu
B'glal milchamot v'kavod?
Ein li teshuvot vkol hatikvot
Halchu lahen l'kol haruchot
kamah aznaim tzarich ben adam
L'shmoa echad shezo'ek
Vkama namshich lsovev tapanim
Lifnei shenabit v'nireh
V'kamah shanim nihiyeh po s'gurim
Lifeny shel'chophesh netzeh
Ein li teshuvot vkol hatikvot
Halchu lahen l'kol haruchot
kaman tzarich la'avor ben adam
Ad sheyihiyeh ben adam
Kamah shanim ya'mdu heharim
Lifnei sheyiru et ha yam
V'kamah p'gazim od tzarich l'fotzetz
Lifnei she yamutu kulam
Ein li teshuvot vkol hatikvot
Halchu lahen l'kol haruchot
How many more years will we have to die
Before we learn how to live?
And how many will we continue to wait for peace
With an olive and two swords?
And how many green trees will be burned
Because of wars and honor?
I have no answers and all the hopes
Have dispersed to all the winds [directions]
How many ears does a man need
To hear one who screams?
And how many will continue to turn their faces
Before they will look and see
And how many years will we be closed here
Before to freedom we depart?
I have no answers and all the hopes
Have dispersed to all the winds [directions]
How much does a man have to pass through
Before he is a man?
How many years will the mountains tand
Before they see the ocean?
And how many more shells still have to explode
Before everybody dies?
I have no answers and all the hopes
Have dispersed to all the winds [directions]
