Tags: Israel Engagement, Music, Arts and Culture, Israel Under Fire

אין לי ארץ אחרת
Ein li eretz acheret
I have no other country
גם אם אדמתי בוערתgam im admati bo'eret
even if my land is burning.

רק מילה בעברית חודרתRak milah b'ivrit choderet
Just a word in Hebrew penetrates
אל עורקיי, אל נשמתיel orakai, el nishmati
to my veins, to my soul.

בגוף כואב, בלב רעבB'guf ko'ev, b'lev ra'ev
With a weak body, with a hungry heart.
כאן הוא ביתיkan hu beiti
Here is my home.


לא אשתוקLo eshtok
I will not stay silent
כי ארצי שינתה את פניה
ki artzi shinta et paneha
because my country changed her face.

לא אוותר לה
Lo evater la
I will not give up on her
אזכיר לה
Azkir la
I will remind her.

ואשיר כאן באוזניהV'ashir kan b'ozneha
And I will sing right into her ears
עד שתפקח את עיניהAd sheh-tiftach et eineha
until she will open her eyes.
