Aravah, Aravah
(attributed to Hasslev - probably just the English)
(Hebrew by M. Nozyk and Y. Orland)

In the land they call Galilee,
A new kind of breeze is blowin'.
From Jerusalem to the sea,
An ancient dream is a-growin'.
From Jerusalem to the sea,
An ancient dream is a-growin'.

Come lend a hand, there's a land to be won
By every hand, every day, every hour.
Work the fields with the plow and the gun
Plant the seed 'til the plain is in flower.

Arava arava ein ketz
Ein habokrim tara
Lo arar lo dardar lo ets
ruach ba hamidbara

Lo arar lo dardar lo ets
ruach ba hamidbara

Aravah is a growing land,
Built out of tears and sorrow.
Water flows in the desert sand,
Bringing hope for tomorrow.
Water flows in the desert sand,
Bringing hope for tomorrow.

Zemer habokrim yaale v'yivka
al merchavim avudim ad en gemer
v'tizrach hachama v'tishka
umosif v'koleach hazemer

Arava, arava ....can't understand this (not the same as above)
