The Hope
As long as in the heart, within,
A Jewish soul still yearns,
And onward, towards the ends of the east,
An eye still looks toward Zion;
Our hope is
not yet lost,
The ancient hope,
To return to the land of our fathers,
The city where David encamped.
As long as tears
from our eyes
Flow like benevolent rain,
And throngs of our countrymen
Still pay homage at the graves of (our) fathers;
As long as our
precious Wall
Appears before our eyes,
And over the destruction of our Temple
An eye still wells up with tears;
As long as the
waters of the Jordan
In fullness swell its banks,
And (down) to the Sea of Galilee
With tumultuous noise fall;
As long as on the barren highways
The humbled city gates mark,
And among the ruins of Jerusalem
A daughter of Zion still cries;
As long as pure
tears
Flow from the eye of a daughter of my nation,
And to mourn for Zion at the watch of night
She still rises in the middle of the nights;
As long as drops
of blood in our veins
Flow back and forth,
And upon the graves of our fathers
Dewdrops still fall;
As long as the
feeling of love of nation
Throbs in the heart of the Jew,
We can still hope even today
That a wrathful God may still have mercy on us;
Hear, O my brothers
in the lands of exile,
The voice of one of our visionaries,
(Who declares) That only with the very last Jew —
Only there is the end of our hope!
You people, peace for your country again
Balm in Gilead, Jerusalem doctor,
Your healer is God, the wisdom of His heart,
Go my people in peace, healing is imminent...
