Israeli anthem- Hatikva in French Hatikvah, English: As long as in the heart, within, A Jewish soul is yearning, And to the edges of the East, forward, An eye gazes towards Zion, Our hope is not yet lost, The hope of two thousand years, To be a free nation in our land, The land of Zion and Jerusalem Hatikvah, transilterated: Kol od baleivav p'nimah Nefesh y'hudi homiyah Ulfa'atei mizrach kadimah Ayin l'tziyon tzofiyah Od lo avdah tikvateinu Hatikvah bat sh'not alpayim Lihyot am chofshi b'artzeinu Eretz tziyon viyrushalayim Francky Perez raps: If you knew how I love her, you'd see how I feel If you know where I'm from then you know what Is-real If you've bled like we've bled, died like we've died Seen what we've seen and cried like we cried. You know how we love her, treat her like a son does his mother Or a father does his son, and the brothers do each other For every stone we move, and all the land we lose As life get hot like the desert sands in June And everywhere is the same, and the only real change is Everyday new faces that feel the same hatred It's like we're caught in the Matrix, we need The One to save us The can bomb us, the can kill us, but they will never break us The beach air is so clear, and the sand is like cotton In a land that's been forsaken but has never been forgotten and I turn to the East and pray as the sun warms my skin The voices of my elders and the places they have been We have overcome the wait, overcome our fate Underestimated and overcome the pain 5000 years of history, whether you know it or not That's why we defend the Land like it's all that we've got 'Cause it's the only safe place to raise my kids The family how can it be so hard to let us live They welcome me with open arms, even though times are hard As peace is like a memory that drifts between the songs We built this city out of blood, made buildings out of mud That's why I wrote this song -- for respect and out of love For my descendants, every like every sentence It's time for us to celebrate our independence This is God's city, Jerusalem -- Yerushalayim The only place where we live without the fear of dying Doctor, mothers, sons, prophets and teachers Believe is what we do -- od lo avda tikvateinu Author: IsraeliFrench Keywords: Hatikva The Hope Francky Perez Broadway Rap Soul Israel Jerusalem Zionism Jewish Added: April 6, 2008
