1 Gilu haGalilim, giborey hachayil
Sisu v'simchu yomam valayil.

2 Meycheshkat halayil ole kol chalil,
Shiro yashmia shomer haGalil.

3 Yeheme haGalil, ko yeheme l'vavi
Susi kal-raglayim, daruch hu rovi.

4 Zalat-cha haGalil, ma li vami li?
HaGalil, Galili, ach ata Galili.


1 Sing Galileans, ye heroes of battle,
Rejoice and be merry all day and all night.

2 Through the dark nights, the sweet-sounding flute,
Song of the watchmen of Galilee.

3 Aroused is Galilee, so heaves my heart,
Fleet is my steed and my rifle poised.

4 I have only you, my own Galilee,
Galilee, you are my all.
