English Lyrics

(Group 1 chants throughout song:)
Zum Gali Gali
Israeli Folk Song

Zum, gali-gali-gali, Zum gali-gali,
Zum, gali-gali-gali, Zum gali-gali,
(one group continues to sing this behind the verses)

Eh-chalutz leh mon avo-dah,
Avo-dah lah mon eh-chalutz.
Eh-chalutz leh mon avo-dah,
Avo-dah lah mon eh-chalutz.

Zum, gali-gali-gali, Zum gali-gali,
Zum, gali-gali-gali, Zum gali-gali,

Pioneers all work as one
Work as one all pioneers
Peace shall be for all the world
All the world shall be for peace

Zum, gali-gali-gali, Zum gali-gali,
Zum, gali-gali-gali, Zum gali-gali,

Hechalutz le maan avoda
Avoda le maan hechalutz
Ha shalom le maan ha amin
Ha amin le maan ha shalom

Zum, gali-gali-gali, Zum gali-gali,
Zum, gali-gali-gali, Zum gali-gali,

From the dawn till setting sun
Every one finds work to be done.
From the dawn till night does come
Thera's a task for everyone

Zum gali gali, gali, Zum gali gali,
Zum gali gali, gali, Zum gali gali,

Pioneers work hard on the land,
Men and women work hand in hand
As they labor all day long,
They lift their voice in song

gali gali, gali, Zum gali gali,
Zum gali gali, gali, Zum gali gali,

Let us work, my friends as one
Let us work 'til the task is done.

Zum

Translation

Pioneers all work as one
Work as one all pioneers
Peace shall be for all the world
All the world shall be for peace
