Bashana Haba'a

Bashana haba'ah
Neishev al hamirpeset
V'nispor tziporim nod'dot

Y'ladim b'chufsha
Y'shacaku tofeset
Bein habayit l'vein hasadot

Od tir'eh od tir'eh
Kama tov yihiyeh
Bashana bashana haba'ah

Anavim adumim
Yav'shilu ad ha'erev
V'yug'shu tson'nim lashulchan

V'ruchot r'dumim
Yis'u el eim haderech
Itonim y'shanim v'anan

Od tir'eh...

Bashana haba'ah
Nifros kapot yadayim
Mul ha'or hanigar halavan

Anafa l'vana
Tfros ka'or k'nafayim
V'hashemesh tizrach b'tochan

Od tir'eh

Next year
We'll​ sit on the porch
And count migrating​ birds

Child​ren on vacation
Will play tag
Betwe​en the house and the fields

You will yet see, you will yet see
How good it will be
Next year

Red grapes
Will ripen 'til the evening
And will be served chilled to the table

And languid winds
Will carry to the crossroad​s
Old newspaper​s and a cloud

You will yet see...

Next year
We will spread out our hands
Towar​ds the radiant light

A white heron
Like a light will spread her wings
And within them the sun will rise

You will yet see...
