מי ידע שכך יהיה [Mi yada shekacha ihiye] [English translation]

This is not a dream

The day will come

The day that we'd been waiting for two thousand years:

The last war

We leave our home,

Leave our friends,

Put on the olive uniform

And go into different days

Who knew that it would be like that,

That in several nights far from his mother

He will grow up from a teenager

To a young man, attacking forward

This is not a dream

The day will come

The day that we'd been waiting for two thousand years:

The last war

Days without home,

Days without friends

Instead of grass just sand

Hills, valleys and mountains

We will return to our homes,

Return to our friends,

Throw aside olive uniforms

And return to the days themselves
