Alive
Shim'u, echai, ani od chai Listen, my brothers, I'm still alive
Ushtei enai od nisa'ot la'or And both my eyes still look into the light
Rabim chochai, ach gam prachai Many are my thorns, but also my flowers
Ulefanai shanim rabot misfor And I have countless years ahead of me
Ani sho'el umitpalel I ask and I pray
Tov shelo avda od hatikva Good thing hope is not yet lost
Over mizmor midor ledor A song is passed from generation to generation
Kema'ayan me'az ve'ad olam Like a eternal spring
Ani sho'el umitpalel I ask and I pray
Tov shelo avda od hatikva Good thing hope is not yet lost
Chai, chai, chai Alive, alive, alive
Ken, ani od chai Yes, I'm still alive
Ze hashir sheSaba shar etmol le'Aba This is the song that Grandpa sang yesterday to Dad
Vehayom ani And today it's me
Ani od chai, chai, chai I'm still alive, alive, alive
Am Yisra'el chai The Nation of Israel is alive
Ze hashir sheSaba shar etmol le'Aba This is the song that Grandpa sang yesterday to Dad
Vehayom ani And today it's me
Homim yamai (Chai, chai) My days rumble (Alive, alive)
Velelotai (Chai, chai) As do my nights (Alive, alive)
Uveshamai, amud ha'esh od kam And in my skies, the pillar of fire still stands
Ashir bli dai (Chai, chai) I'll sing forever (Alive, alive)
Efros yadai (Chai, chai) I'll reach out my hands (Alive, alive)
Leyedidai asher me'ever yam To my friends from across the seas
Ani sho'el umitpalel I ask and I pray
Tov shelo avda od hatikva Good thing hope is not yet lost
Chai, chai, chai Alive, alive, alive
Ken, ani od chai Yes, I'm still alive
Ze hashir sheSaba shar etmol le'Aba This is the song that Grandpa sang yesterday to Dad
Vehayom ani And today it's me
Ani od chai, chai, chai I'm still alive, alive, alive
Am Yisra'el chai The Nation of Israel is alive

Ushtei enai od nisa'ot la'or And both my eyes still look into the light
Az ko lechai lechol orchai So kudos to all my guests
Ulevanay hamevakshim lachzor And to my sons who ask to return
Ani sho'el (Ani sho'el) I ask (I ask)
Umitpalel (Mitpalel) And I pray (I pray)
