Mi-saviv yahom ha-sa`ar
Ach rosheinu lo yishach
Li-fkuda tamid anachnu tamid
Anu anu ha-Palmach
Mi-Metulla ad ha-Negev
Min ha-yam ad ha-midbar
Kol bachur va-tov la-neshek
Kol bachur al ha-mishmar
Nateev la-nesher ba-shamayim
Shveel la-pera' bein harim
Mool oyev darkeynu ya`al
Bein nikrot uvein tzurim
Reeshonim tamid anachnu
Le-or ha-yom uva-machshach
Li-fkuda tamid anachnu tamid
Anu anu ha-Palmach
Translation
Though the storm is ever mounting
Still our heads remain
unbowed.
We are ready to obey all
commands,
The Palmach will win -
we've vowed.
From Metulla to the
Negev,
From the sea to the
desert
plain,
All our youth defend the
homeland,
Till we bring it peace
again.
In the eagle's path we
follow,
Over mountain tracks we
go,
Among stony heights and
caverns
We are seeking out the
foe.
When you summon us to
battle,
We will be there first
by
day or night,
We are ready when you
give the command,
The Palmach will march
in
might.
