Dumai lyrics

hob ikh mir in harts a kholem

heyb ikh oyf a fon fun sholem

ober in mayn kholem shteyt a moyer

ful mit payn un ful mit troyer

af der moyer shteyt a zelner

hinter im di grine felder

me' hot geboyt tsufile grenetsn

afn land un in di mentshn

mir vein di grenetsn iberkumen

nor ven sine iz avekgenumen

vemen zol dos land gehern?

tsi folk fun levone tsi folk fun shtern?

keyner vet undz frayhayt gebn

me' darf nokh zi aleyn zikh shtrebn

zayn a fremder iz mayn shtand

s'iz gules do in undzer land

(I carry in my heart a dream / a flag of peace & a land redeemed

but in my dream a wall of wire / stone & iron forged in fire

on the wall a soldier stands / keeps us out of our own land

borders tear us all apart / on the ground & in the heart

while we all must learn to conquer hate, / what's a nation without a state?

the land is holy, but for whom? / God of the star or the crescent moon?

no one freely gives up power / we alone can take what's ours

without freedom, without land / here in exile we do stand

without justice, without peace / just a dream become a beast

where will exile draw the line? / in Israel or Palestine?)

nisht keyn tsedek, nisht keyn sholem

nor a kholem gevorn a golem

voser folk on a medina?

say yisroel say palestina
