In The Galilee, At Tel Hai

In the Galilee, at Tel Hay
Trumpeldor fell
For our nation for our land
The hero Joseph fell
By way of mountains and hills
He ran to redeem the name of Tel Chay
Saying to brothers there:
Go in my footsteps

By way of mountains and hills
He ran to redeem the name of Tel Chay
Saying to brothers there:
Go in my footsteps

In every place
And every moment
You will remember me
For I fought and also fell
For my motherland
All day I ploughed
And at night I held my gun’s barrel in my hand
Till the last moment

All day I ploughed
And at night I held my gun’s barrel in my hand
Till the last moment
