Translation

See, how good and pleasant it is
When brothers dwell together in peace

Lai means hapiness

I first learned this song while living on a kibbutz in Israel. Although it is based on Psalm 121, it was often sung by the pioneers of the kibbutz movement, many of whom made aliyah at the close of the 19th century.
