Od nashuva el nigun atik vehazemer yif veye'erav. Od gavia meshumar nashik, nashik, alizei einayim ulevav. Tovu, tovu ohaleinu ki machol hiftsi'a. Tovu, tovu ohaleinu, od nashuva el nigun atik. |
We will return again to an ancient melody and the song will linger on. When we raise our glasses together our eyes and hearts will be bright. How good are our tents because there's dancing there. How good are our tents, still we return to an ancient melody. |
