Original lyrics
Banu bli kol vachol anu aniyei etmol. Lanu hagoral masar et milionei hamachar. Tsena lama'agal, ten na shir mizmor ladal. Hena ne'esfu lirkod b'nai ha'oni vehashod. Hora ali, ali! Esh hadliki beleili, T'hora rabat ora, hora medura.
Translated lyrics
We came with nothing, we, the poor of yesterday. Fate gave us the millions of tomorrow. Come out to the circle, give a song to the poor. Here gathered to dance, sons of poverty and the spoils. Hora arise, arise! Light a fire in my night, pure and full of light, hora of the campfire.
