   An forrit, tae the droddums o the east,   ‘Ayin letziyon tzofiyah;
   A ee still gaups forrit Israel;       ‘Od lo avdah tikvateinu,
   Oor howp is nocht yet lost,   Hatikvah bat shnot alpayim,
   The howp o twa thoosand towmonds,   Lihyot ‘am chofshi be’artzeinu,
   Tae be a lowse fowk in oor kintra,   Eretz-tziyon (v)'Y(e)rushalayim.
