This is the time God has made
On it we shall rejoice in glee;
Salvation from Up High, in our land
Shining here on us from thee.
The valley of Izre'el is beautifully scenic;
It is redeemed, Hurray, hurray!
It shall dress in fruit and produce,
In n' with it, we'll blossom in May.
Beneath a hill and Mount Gilboa,
Accursed with "Neither dew nor rain!",
Pioneers came to sow,
Valley and Mount are yielding again.
Hand of a ḥalutz, if only shall toil,
Hand of this people immortal -
This land, which accursed had been,
It is a blessing, her fields green.
How magnificent shall the entire plane be
A great nation'll come, possess;
Will come, will dwell here in peace,
With courage, daring, and conquest!
Oh, blessed are the dwellers of Your House
The national, the people that strayed!
With Thy wonders, with your spade -
Come here, live forever, unafraid!
