Kol‘od balevav penimah
Nefesh yehudi homiyah
Ulfa’atei mizrach kadimah
‘Ayin letziyon tzofiyah

‘Od lo avdah tikvateinu
Hatikvah bat shnot ’alpayim
Lihyot ‘am chofshi be’artzeinu
’Eretz-Tziyon [bad word] 
As long as in the heart, within,
Jewish soul still yearns,
And onward, towards the ends of the east,
An eye still gazes toward Zion;

Our hope is not yet lost,
The hope of two thousand years,
To be a free people in our land,
The land of Zion and [bad word]
