Hora, Hora, Hora
 
Od mazhiv hasade she'azavnu az
Od ha'arets noset yevula
Ve'od yafim hem haleilot biChna'an
Terem hashemesh ola

Od rakevet chotsa sham pardes yarok
Chasida od roga'at me'al
Ve'od nisa ha'arafel ba'emek
Bein hazricha vehatal

Vgam haHora, hahi im haHei
Kola od ole, kola lo nadam
Vegam haHora, hahi im haHei
Shira memale libi le'olam

Od shatim ananim al batei ha'ir
Vehayam melatef et hachol
Ve'od nishma ech bilvavot po'em lo

Hora!

Hora, Hora, Hora

The field we left back then still turns to gold
The land still produces its harvest
And the nights in Canaan are still beautiful
Before the sun rises

A train still crosses a green orchard there
A stork still relaxes above
And the fog still carries in the valley
Between the sunrise and the dew

And also the Hora, the one with the Hey
Its voice still rises, its voice has not been silenced
And also the Hora, the one with the Hey
Its song fills my heart forever

Clouds still float over the city houses
And the sea caresses the sand
And still we hear how in the hearts there beats
An old refrain and a dance

And also the Hora, the one with the Hey
Its voice still rises, its voice has not been silenced
And also the Hora, the one with the Hey
Its song fills my heart foreve

Lai lai lai lai... lala lai lai lai...
Lala lala lalala...
Lai lai lai lai... lala lai lai lai...
Lala lala lalala...

Hora, the one with the Hey
Its voice still rises, its voice has not been silenced
And also the Hora, the one with the Hey
Its song fills my heart foreve

The field we left back then still turns to gold
The land still produces its harvest
And the nights in Canaan are still beautiful
Before the sun rises

And also the Hora, the one with the Hey
Its voice still rises, its voice has not been silenced
And also the Hora, the one with the Hey
It's song fills my heart forever

Lai lai lai lai... lala lai lai lai...
Lala lala lalala...
Lai lai lai lai... lala lai lai lai...
Lala lala lalala... Lala lala lalala...
