Tnu lashemesh la'alot,
laboker leha-ir
Hazakah shebatfilot,
otanu lo tachzir

Mi asher kavah nero,
uve'afar nitman,
bekhi mar lo ye'iro,
lo yakhziro lekhan.

Ish otanu lo yashiv,
mibor takhtit afel,
Kan lo yo'ilu,
lo simkhat hanitzakhon,
velo shirei haleil!

Lakhen, rak shiru shir lashalom,
al tilkhashu tefillah!
mutav tashiru shir lashlalom,
bitze'akah g'dolah!

Tnu lashemesh lakhador,
miba'ad laprakhim.
Al tabitu le-akhor,
hanikhu laholkhim.

Se-u einayim betikvah,
lo derekh kavanot
shiru shir la-ahavah,
velo lamilkhamot

Al tagidu yom yavo,
havi-u et hayom!!
Uvekhol hakikarot
hari'u lashalom!

Veshiru, shiru shir lashalom,
al telkhashu tefillah!
mutav tashiru shir lashalom,
bitze'akah g'dolah

Let the sun come up again
and give the morning light.
the purest prayer that you can find
can't change our deadly plight.

He whose light has been snuffed out
can't taste your bitter tear.
Nothing you can do or say
can bring him back to here.

Nobody can raise us up
from our cold dark graves.
Don't try to help us
with your cheers of victory
or your songs of praise.

So only sing a song for peace;
don't whisper us a prayer.
Better to sing a song for peace.
Let shouting fill the air!

Let the sun shine through again
to let the flowers grow.
Don't look backward to the past;
let those who left you go.

Let your eyes look up with hope,
not through a rifle sight.
Sing a song, a song for love,
not for another fight.

Don't tell me 'the day will come';
work for it without cease.
inside every city square
let out a cheer for peace!

Come on and sing a song for peace;
don't whisper us a prayer.
Better to sing a song for peace.
Let shouting fill the air!
