Kan beiti, po ani noladeti
Bamishor asher al sfat hayam
Kan hachaverim itam gadalti
Ve'en li shum makom acher ba'olam
En li shum makom acher ba'olam
Kan beiti, po ani sichakti
Bashfela asher al gav hahar
Kan min habe'er shatiti maim
Veshatalti deshe bamidbar
Veshatalti deshe bamidbar
Kan noladeti, kan noldu li yeladai
Kan baniti et beiti bishtei yadai
Kan gam ata iti vechan kol elef yedidai
Ve'achrei shanim alpaim, sof lindudai
Kan et kol shirai ani niganti
Vehalachti bemasa leili
Kan bine'urai ani heganti
Al chelkat ha'Elohim sheli
Al chelkat ha'Elohim sheli
Kan noladeti, kan noldu li yeladai
Kan baniti et beiti bishtei yadai
Kan gam ata iti vechan kol elef yedidai
Ve'achrei shanim alpaim, sof lindudai

Pat shel lechem, perach ra'anan
Delet lashchenim ani patachti

Here is my home, here I was born
On the plain by the sea
Here are the friends I grew up with
And I have no other place in the world
I have no other place in the world
Here is my home, here I would play
In the lowlands by the mountainside
Here I drank water from the well
And I planted grass in the desert
And I planted grass in the desert
Here I was born, here my children were born
Here I built my home with my own two hands
Here you are also with me and here are all of my thousand friends
And after two thousand years, an end to my wandering
Here I played all my songs
And I walked on a nightly journey
Here in my youth I defended
My own God's little acre
My own God's little acre
Here I was born, here my children were born
Here I built my home with my own two hands
Here you are also with me and here are all of my thousand friends
And after two thousand years, an end to my wandering
Here
Here I set my table
A piece of bread, a fresh flower
I opened a door to the neighbors
And we'll say "Ahalan" to whoever comes
("Ahalan")
And we'll say "Ahalan" to whoever comes
Here I was born, here my children were born
Here I built my home with my own two hands
Here you are also with me and here are all of my thousand friends
And after two thousand years, an end to my wandering
Here you are also with me and here are all of my thousand friends
And after two thousand years
After two thousand years
Here I was born, here my children were born
Here I built my home with my own two hands
Here you are also with me and here are all of my thousand friends
And after two thousand years, an end to my wandering
Here you are also with me and here are all of my thousand friends
And after two thousand years
An end, an end to my wandering
