יד אחים
יד אחים לכם שלוחה הנוער החביב
על דגלנו כולכם חנו מסביב
יזהיר לכם כוכב תורה דרככם סוגה בעבודה
בלב אמיץ ובעזרת ה׳ עלה נעלה
קדימה בני עקיבא הידד במעלה
מולדת זו, ארץ אבות ארצנו הקדושה
מידי אביר-יעקב לנו מורשה
ראשינו בעמקי תורתה כפינו ברגבי אדמתה
בלב אמיץ ובעזרת ה׳ עלה נעלה
קדימה בני עקיבא הידד במעלה

 

Yad Achim – Transliteration
Yad Achim lachem shelucha hano’ar he’chaviv

Yad Achim – English Translation
A brotherly hand is stretched out to you,
O beloved youth:
Gather yourselves around our flag.

The star of the Torah shall shine for you,
Your path shall be one of labour.
With a sturdy heart, with the help of God,
we will go up

Forward, Bnei Akiva,
forward to the heights!

This homeland, the holy Land of our fathers,
our heritage from the hand of the Mighty One of Jacob.

Our minds are steeped in her Torah,
Our hands are immersed in her soil.
With a sturdy heart, with the help of God, we will go up

Forward, Bnei Akiva,
forward to the heights!

כֹּל עוֹד בַּלֵּבָב פְּנִימָה
נֶפֶשׁ יְהוּדִי הוֹמִיָּה,
וּלְפַאֲתֵי מִזְרָח קָדִימָה,
עַיִן לְצִיּוֹן צוֹפִיָּה;

עוֹד לֹא אָבְדָה תִּקְוָתֵנוּ,
הַתִּקְוָה בַּת שְׁנוֹת אַלְפַּיִם,
לִהְיוֹת עַם חָפְשִׁי בְּאַרְצֵנוּ,
אֶרֶץ צִיּוֹן וִירוּשָׁלַיִם

Kol ode balevav P’nimah –
Nefesh Yehudi homiyah

Ulfa’atey mizrach kadimah
Ayin l’tzion tzofiyah.

Ode lo avdah tikvatenu
Hatikvah bat shnot alpayim:

L’hiyot am chofshi b’artzenu
Eretz Tzion v’Yerushalayim

In the Jewish heart
A Jewish spirit still sings,

And the eyes look east
Toward Zion.

Our hope is not lost,
Our hope of two thousand years,

To be a free nation in our land,
In the land of Zion and Jerusalem

Hebrew Ruach

אדמה ושמים, חום האש, צליל המים, אני מרגיש בגופי, ברוחי ובנישמתי. היה היה היה היה היה היה היה היה!

על הנסים ועל הפרקן ועל הגבורות ועל התשועות ועל המלחמות שעשית לאבותינו בימים ההם בזמן הזה
ואהבת לרעך כמוך זה כלל גדול בתורה

Don’t walk in front of me I may not follow, don’t walk behind me I may not lead, just walk beside me and be my friend and together we will walk in the path of Hashem.

Bim, Bom, Bom, Bim. Bim, Bom, Bom, Bim.

אני מאמין באמונה שלמה בביאת המשיח אני מאמין, ואף על פי שיתמהמה עם כל זה אחכה לו בכל יום שיבוא

I need my mummy, to rub my tummy, and if she doesn’t come quick, I will be sick!
