Yigal Bashan

Im atah over etzleinu bash'chunah
tir'eh sham al hakir k'tovet yeshanah -
"yishmor oti ha'el mip'nei ha'emunah"

Ein shum am s'gulah yesh rak yechidim
lo kulam tip'shim ve'lo kulam modim
eleh yehudim ve'eleh yehudim
adam nish'ar adam,
al tikra li am.

Otah galut gam po lashav ani oved
kamah od golani mul mitabed boded
lo me'elohim, mimcha ani chared.

Shuv atah rochev k'shenishpach po dam
shuv atah choshev she'atah chacham
im lo samta lev gam ani kayam
mah yesh li itcha mah yesh li itam
adam nish'ar adam...

K'sheprachim porchim viy'ladim s'mechim
ve'oyvim mipa'am hem hayom achim
hagiborim nachim vehag'vulot p'tuchim
hasheyarah overet vehak'lavim novchim.
adam nish'ar adam...

Im atah over etzleinu bash'chunah
tir'eh sham al hakir k'tovet yeshanah -
"gam hametziut z'kukah lehaganah,
yishmor oti ha'el mip'nei ha'emunah"
adam nish'ar adam...
