    שֵׁבֶט אַחִים וַאֲחָיוֹת

    70 שָׁנָה בַּמְּכוֹנִית
    אֲנִי נוֹסֵעַ וּמַבִּיט
    עַל מָה הָיָה וּמָה נִהְיָה
    וְאֵיךְ נַפְשִׁי עוֹד הוֹמִיָה

    מֵהַמְּצָדָה שֶׁל הַזְּרִיחוֹת
    יְרוּשָׁלַיִם בַּסְּלִיחוֹת
    מֵחוֹף כִּנֶּרֶת וְאַכְזִיב
    מֵהַמְּסִבּוֹת שֶׁל תֵּל אָבִיב

    אָבִי חָלַם וְהִתְפַּלֵּל
    לִחְיּוֹת בְּאֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל
    הַיּוֹם יַלְדִי אוֹתִי שׁוֹאֵל
    מָה הַסִּפּוּר שֶׁל יִשְׂרָאֵל

    כָּאן זֶה בַּיִת, כָּאן זֶה לֵב
    וְאוֹתַךְ אֲנִי לֹא עוֹזֵב
    אֲבוֹתֵינוּ-שֹׁרָשִׁים
    וַאֲנַחְנוּ הַפְּרָחִים, הַמַּנְגִּינוֹת
    שֵׁבֶט אַחִים וַאֲחָיוֹת

    אוֹתָהּ שְׁכוּנָה, אוֹתוֹ רְחוֹב
    תְּרֵיסָר בָּנִים שֶׁל יַעֲקֹב
    אוֹסְפִים בְּיַחַד נְדוּדִים
    בְּתוֹךְ תַּרְמִיל גַּעְגּוּעִים

    אָדָם הוּא נוֹף מוֹלַדְתּוֹ
    חוֹרֵט קַוִּים בְּכַף יָדוֹ
    בֵּין הַתְּפִלּוֹת לַנְּדָרִים
    רֵיחוֹת פַּרְדֵּס שֶׁל הַדָּרִים

    וּבְעֵינֶיהָ שֶׁל אִמִּי
    תָּמִיד אֶמְצָא אֶת מְקוֹמִי
    עַל הַגִּיטָרָה מִתְנַגֵּן
    נִגּוּן עַתִּיק שֶׁמְּכַוֵּן


    כָּאן זֶה בַּיִת, כָּאן זֶה לֵב
    וְאוֹתַךְ אֲנִי לֹא עוֹזֵב
    אֲבוֹתֵינוּ-שֹׁרָשִׁים
    וַאֲנַחְנוּ הַפְּרָחִים, הַמַּנְגִּינוֹת
    שֵׁבֶט אַחִים וַאֲחָיוֹת

    מִבְּרֵאשִית הַכֹּל תָּפוּר
    טְלָאִים, טְלָאִים שֶׁל הַסִּפּוּר
    כְּמוֹ שְׁתֵּי מִלִּים-לְהִתְחַבֵּר
    בְּחוּט זָהָב שֶׁל מְשׁוֹרֵר

    אֲנִי מִכָּאן, אֲנִי שִׁיֵּךְ
    וְכָל חָבֵר שֶׁלִּי כְּמוֹ אָח
    אָת הַפּוֹעֶמֶת בִּלְבָבִי
    אֲנִי מִזְרָח-מַעֲרָבִי


    כָּאן זֶה בַּיִת, כָּאן זֶה לֵב
    וְאוֹתַךְ אֲנִי לֹא עוֹזֵב
    אֲבוֹתֵינוּ-שֹׁרָשִׁים
    וַאֲנַחְנוּ הַפְּרָחִים, הַמַּנְגִּינוֹת
    שֵׁבֶט אַחִים וַאֲחָיוֹת

    English translation of Shevet Achim V'achayot


    A Tribe of Brothers and Sisters

    70 years on the road I'm traveling and looking
    At what was and what will be
    And how my soul is still this nation
    From catching the sunrise
    From the sunrises of Masada
    From Jerusalem with its palaces
    From the beaches of the Kinneret
    From the parties of Tel Aviv
    My father dreamed and prayed
    To live in the Land of Israel
    Today my children ask me
    What is the story of Israel?

    Chorus:

    This is my home, this is my heart
    And I will not leave
    Our ancestors, our roots
    We are the flowers, the melodies
    A tribe of brothers and sisters
    The same neighborhood, the same street
    Jacob's twelve sons
    Brought together after their wanderings
    In the place of their longing
    A man is his native landscape
    He digs lines in the palm of his hand
    Between the prayers and the oaths
    The smell of orchard of citrus
    And in my mother's eyes
    I'll always find my place
    The guitar is playing
    An ancient tune that is right
    This is a my home
    This is my heart
    And I will not leave
    Our ancestors, our roots
    And we are the flowers, the melodies
    A tribe of brothers and sisters
    From the beginning, everything is sewn
    Patches, patches of the story
    Like two words, they connect
    The golden needle of a poet
    Here I am from, here I belong
    And every friend of mine is like a brother
    You are beating in my heart
    I am east and west
    This is my home
    This is my heart
    And I will not leave
    Our ancestors, our roots
    We are the flowers, the melodies
    A tribe of brothers and sisters
    This is my home
    This is my heart
    And I will not leave
    Our ancestors, our roots
    We are the flowers, the melodies
    A tribe of brothers and sisters
