Naomi Shemer

Omrim: Yeshna eretz,
eretz sh'churat shemesh.
Ayeh otah eretz?
Eifo otah shemesh?

Omrim: Yeshna eretz,
amudeiha shiv'ah,
shiv'ah kochvei lechet,
tsatsim al kol giv'ah.

Eifo otah eretz,
kochvei otah giv'ah?
Mi yan'cheinu derech,
yagid li han'tivah?

Kvar avarnu kamah
midbarot veyamim.
Kvar halachnu kamah,
kochoteinu tamim.

Kei'tsad zeh ta'inu?
Terem hunach lanu?
Otah eretz shemesh,
otah lo matzanu.

Eretz bah yitkayem
asher kol ish kivah,
nichnas kol hanichnas,
paga bo Akiva.

Shalom lecha, Akiva!
shalom lecha, harabi!
Eifo hem hakdoshim,
Eifo haMakabi?

Oneh lo Akivah,
omer lo harabi:
Kol yisrael kdoshim,
atah haMakabi!

Eifo otah eretz,
kochvei otah giv'ah?
Mi yan'cheinu derech,
yagid li han'tivah?

Omrim: Yeshna eretz,
eretz revat shemesh...
Aeyh otah eretz?
Eifo otah shemesh?
