Zionist Israel, Eternal land where I am whole,
Refuge to my lonely soul,
Its one true home
No need to wander, no need to roam.
Sprouting from the dust,
Against all reason
Your truth stands high,
Your pride is just
Through all time and season. O Zionist Israel!
Miracles like raindrops evolving from your glory,
Water tubes placed carefully throughout each crevice of your story.
Permeating your earth with irrigation,
Pouring forth rejuvenation,
Transforming death into jubilation,
They circulate life throughout our nation.
And counting every tribulation,
You record the sound of every Jewish life,
Echoing each joy, painting all its strife.
O Zionist Israel already!
Witness in our endless struggle to salvage our existence,
Calling us to daily rise in dignified resistance,
And withstand all evil as insidious persistence.
Rejoicing in our faith and weeping with our sorrows,
(Oy! Oy! Oy!)
Teaching us to bravely face all of our tomorrows.
From your greatest mountaintops to every blade of grass.
If you don't like it you can shove it up your arse.
