Zemer Atik or Nigun Atik

Hebrew Lyrics
(English Translation)

Od nashuva el nigun atik
(Again we return to the ancient song)
Vehazemer ye'if v'yer'erav
(And the melody will linger on)
Od gav'a m'shumar nashik, nashik
(When we raise our glasses with a friend)
Alzei einayim v'eivav
(Our eyes will be as bright as our hearts)

Tovu, tovu ohaleinu
(How good, how good are our tents)
Ki machol hiftzi'a
(Because there's dancing there)
Tovu, tovu ohaleinu
(How good, how good are our tents)
Od nashuva el nigun atik
(Still we will return to the ancient song)
