Sheleg al iri kol halaila nach.
El artzot hachom ahuvi halach.
Sheleg al iri vehalaila kar.
Me'artzot hachom li yavi tamar.
Dvash hate'eina, metek hecharuv.
Ve'orchat gmalim amusei kawl tuv.
Heina shuv yashuv shemesh levavi
Umisham tapuach zahav yavi.
Sheleg al iri nach kmo talit.
Me'artzot hachom ma heveita li?
Sheleg al iri, sheleg al panai.
Uvetoch hapri kawl ga'agu'ai.
Snow over my city, resting all the night.
My love has gone to the warm lands.
Snow over my city, and the night is cold.
From the warm countries he will bring me a date.
The honey of the fig, the sweetness of carob.
And a caravan of camels laden with all good things.
Surely my heart's sun will return here.
And from there, he will bring an orange.
Snow over my city, resting like a tallit.
From the warm lands, what have you brought me?
Snow on my city, snow on my face.
And within the fruit are all my longings.

Shibolet bassedeh kor'ah baru'ach
Me'omes gar'inim ki rav.
Uvemerchav harim
Yom kvar yafu'ach.
Hashemesh ketem v'zahav.
Uru, ho uru
Shuru bnei kfarim.
Kama hen bashla kvar
Al pnei hakarim.
Kitzru, shilchu magal
Et reshit hakatzir.
Sdei se'orim tama
Zer chag oteret
Shefa y'vul uvracha.
Likrat bo hakotzrim
B'zohar mazheret
Cheresh la'omer m'chaka.
Havu, hanifu,
Niru lachem nir.
Chag la kama
Et reshit katzir.
Kitzru, shilchu magal
Et reshit hakatzir.
Ear of grain in the field, bowed in the wind
From the weight of its seed, which is great.
And in the expanse of the mountains
The day already rises.
The sun is fine gold.
Arise, oh arise,
Look, sons of the village.
The tall grain has already ripened
in the meadows.
Harvest, extend the scythe -
It's time for the beginning of the harvest.
A pure field of barley
Is crowned with a holiday wreath,
An abundance of produce and blessing.
Just before the coming of the harvesters,
With shining brilliance,
Silently, it waits for the sheaf.
Come, brandish (the scythe)
Plow for yourselves the broken-up field.
It's a holiday for the standing grain,
The time of the beginning of the harvest.
Harvest, extend the scythe -
It's time for the beginning of the harvest.

Od Nashua el nigun atik
Vehazemir yif veye’erav.
Od gavia meshumar nashik, nashik,
Alizei einayim ulevav.
Tova, tova ohaleinu
Ki machol hiftsi’a.
Tova, tova 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.
