Translated lyrics
Note: this song is about Mivtsah Yonatan, an operation to rescue hostages from terrorists. Originally Mivtsah Anteba, It was named in honor of Yonatan Netanyahu (brother of the former prime minister)who died in the operation At midnight they arose and struck at the edge of the world Like sons of ghosts they hurried to take flight To return the honor of humanity To eretz tzvi (literally the land of the deer, aka Israel) To the honey of her fields To the Carmel And the desert To a nation who will not weaken (?) Who will not abandon its sons To eretz tzvi, in whose mountains A city beats from generation to generation To the motherland to whose navel Her children are bound in good and in bad At midnight passes In our fields a blistering wind A willow then bows her head For those who with the dawn did not come back To eretz tzvi To the honey of her fields To the Carmel And the desert To eretz tzvi, whose tears Fall on a field of sunflowers Whose sadness and happiness Are criss-crossed across her dress
