Bashana haba'a neshev al hamirpeset
V'nispor tziporim nod'dot
Yeladim, bechoufsha, yesachaku tofeset
Beyn habayit, l'ven hasadot
Next year, we'll sit on the porch
And count the migrating birds
Children on vacation will play tag
Between the house and the fields
 

Od tir'e, od tir'e
Kama tov yihye
Bashana, bashana haba'a
You'll see, you'll see
How good it will be
Next year
 

Anavim adumim yavshilu ad ha'erev
Veyugshu tzon'nim lashulchan [bad word] redumim, yis'u el em haderech
Itonim yeshanim v'anan
Red grapes will ripen by evening
And will be served chilled at the table
Lazy breezes will carry to the crossroads
Old newspapers and a cloud
 

Od tir'e, od tir'e
Kama tov yihye
Bashana, bashana haba'a
You'll see, you'll see
How good it will be
Next year
 

Bashana haba'a nifros kapot yadayim
Mul ha'or hanigar halavan
Anafa levana tifros ba'or knafayim
Vehashemesh tizrakh b'tochan
Next year we'll spread our hands
To the streaming white light
white heron will spread its wings in the light
And the sun will shine from within them
 

Od tir'e, od tir'e
Kama tov yihye
Bashana, bashana haba'a
You'll see, you'll see
How good it will be
Next year
