Ten li yad, ani ro'a kvar et ha'ofek

Come, come, come even today
I'm still here so come say hello
Say hello
 
Come, come, come even today
I'm still here so come say hello
Say hello

Come at once, give me your hand
Give me your hand, I can already see the horizon
Come at once, give me your hand
I've been alone for almost thirty years
 
Come, come, come even today
I'm still here so come say hello
Say hello

Come, come, come even today
I'm still here so come say hello
Say hello
 
If we go out towards one another
We shall meet each other on the main road today
Then we shall march hand in hand
And fill every moment which was lost

Come, come, come even today
I'm still here so come say hello
Say hello
 
Come, come, come even today
I'm still here so come say hello
Say hello

Give me 'A', give me 'D', give me 'E'
I want to sing a duet
Give me 'F', give me 'G'
Then everyone shall sing aloud
 
Come, come, come even today
I'm still here so come say hello
Say hello

Come, come, come even today
I'm still here so come say hello
Say hello

Come at once, give me your hand
Give me your hand, I can already see the horizon
Come at once, give me your hand
Come at once and give me your hand
