חי [Chai] [English translation]

Listen my brothers, I'm still alive

And both my eyes are still drawn to the light

A lot of thorny grass, but flowers too

And countless years ahead of me

I ask and pray

I'm glad the hope is not yet lost

The chant passes on

Like an unending fountain

I ask and pray

I'm glad the hope is not yet lost

Alive, alive, alive, yes, I'm still alive

This is the song that granddad sang to my dad and today I

I'm still alive, alive, alive, the Israel people are alive

This is the song that granddad sang to my dad and today I

Will sing and won't stop (alive, alive)

Spread my hands (alive, alive)

To all my friends across the sea

Will sing and won't stop (alive, alive)

Spread my hands (alive, alive)

To all my friends across the sea

I ask and pray

I'm glad the hope is not yet lost

Alive, alive, alive, yes, I'm still alive

This is the song that granddad sang to my dad and today I

I'm still alive, alive, alive, the Israel people are alive

This is the song that granddad sang to my dad and today I

Listen my brothers, I'm still alive

And both my eyes are still drawn to the light

So cheers to all my guests

And to my sons who wish to return

I ask (I ask)

And I pray (pray)

I'm glad the hope is not yet lost

Alive, alive, alive, yes, I'm still alive

This is the song that granddad sang to my dad and today I

I'm still alive, alive, alive, the Israel people are alive

This is the song that granddad sang to my dad and today I

Alive, alive, alive

I'm still alive, alive, alive!
