Yisra'el - Laibach

As long as deep in the heart

A Jewish soul still yearns

And forward to the east

To Zion, an eye still looks

Our hope will not be lost

The hope of two thousand years

('Od lo avdah tikvatenu

Hatikvah bat shnot alpayim)

To be a free nation in our own home-land

(Lihyot am chofshi be’artzenu

Eretz Tziyon vi’rushalayim)

The land of Zion and Jerusalem

My country, my country, my land

My ancestors!

My country, my country, my nation

In the land of struggle!

With determination, fire

(Kol'od balevav P’nimah)

And my volcanic revenge

I hove climbed the mountains

Crossed frontiers

(Nefesh Yehudi homiyah)

And fought the wars

I’ve conquered the impossible

With longing in my blood

(Ulfa'atey mizrach kadimah)

And the roar of gems

For my country, my land, my home

(Ayin le’tzion tzofiyah)

My ancestors
