Hebrew Lyrics to Shir Hashtil


שִׁיר הַשְׁתִּיל

גַּם בָּעִיר וְגַם בַּכְּפָר
יֶלֶד קוּם יַשְׁכִּים,
וְיֵצֵא לַגַּיְא וְלָהָר
עִם שְׁתִילִים יְרֻקִּים.

זֶה הַיּוֹם נִטַּע וְנִשְׁתֹּל
וְנַכֶּה פֹּה שֹׁרֶשׁ.
עוֹד שָׁנָה וְעוֹד שָׁנָה -
וְהִנֵּה פֹּה חֹרֶשׁ.

שִׁירוּ שִׁיר לַשָּׁתִיל
מִיהוּדָה וְעַד הַגָּלִיל!
טַע וּשְׁתֹל, שְׁתֹל וָטַע
גַּם אֲנִי וְגַם אַתָּה!

הוֹי, הַרְחִיבוּ הַגּוּמָה
לַמָּטָר וְלַחַמָּה!
הַשָּׁתִיל הָרַךְ יִגְדַּל -
וּפָרְחָה שְׁמָמָה.

מַה-לִּי סֶלַע, מַה-לִּי חוֹל?
יָד וְיָד עוֹדֶרֶת.
תִּיף אַרְצֵנוּ הַקְּטַנָּה -
אֶרֶץ לְתִפְאֶרֶת!

שִׁירוּ שִׁיר לַשָּׁתִיל
מִיהוּדָה וְעַד הַגָּלִיל!
טַע וּשְׁתֹל, שְׁתֹל וָטַע
גַּם אֲנִי וְגַם אַתָּה!






English Transliteration of Shir Hashtil

Shir Hashtil

gam bair vegam bakfar
yeled kum yashkim,
veyetse lagay velahar
im shtilim yerukim.

ze hayom nita venishtol
venake po shoresh.
od shana veod shana -
vehine po khoresh.

shiru shir lashatil
mihuda vead hagalil!
ta ushtol, shtol vata
gam ani vegam ata!

ho, harkhivu haguma
lamatar velakhama!
hashatil harakh yigdal -
ufarkha shmama.

ma-li sela, ma-li khol?
yad veyad oderet.
tif artsenu haktana -
erets letiferet!

shiru shir lashatil
mihuda vead hagalil!
ta ushtol, shtol vata
gam ani vegam ata!




English translation of Shir Hashtil


The Seedling Song

Both in the city and in the countryside
the child will get up early,
and will goes out to the valley and the mountain
with green seedlings.

This is the day we plant the seedling
and we lay the root here.
Another year and another year,
and a grove is here.

Sing a song to the seedling
From Judea to the Galilee!
Plant and plant, plant and plant
Also me and you too!

Hey, widen the pitv for rain and sunshine
The young seedling will grow -
and the flower will bloom.

What is a rock to me,
what is sand to me?
Hand in hand we hoe.
Beautify our little country -
Land to be proud of!
