Listen, my brothers, I'm still alive
And my two eyes are still raised to the light
Many are my thorns, but also my flowers
And ahead of me are years too numerous to count

 

I ask and I pray
It's good that hope was not yet lost

A psalm passes from generation to generation
Like a spring from long ago, and on to eternity

 

I ask and I pray
It's good that hope was not yet lost

Alive, alive, alive - Yes, I'm still alive!
This is the song which grandfather
Sang yesterday to father
And today I [sing]

I'm still alive, alive, alive
The people of Israel live
This is the song which grandfather
Sang yesterday to father
And today I [sing]!

My days and nights are full of life,
And in my sky the pillar of fire still rises
I will sing endlessly
I'll spread out my hands
To my friends across the sea.

 

I ask and I pray
It's good that hope was not yet lost

Alive, alive, alive - Yes, I'm still alive!
This is the song which grandfather
Sang yesterday to father
And today I [sing]

I'm still alive, alive, alive
The people of Israel live
This is the song which grandfather
Sang yesterday to father
And today I [sing]!

Listen my brothers, I'm still alive
And my two eyes are still raised to the light
So here's to life! To all my guests,
And to my children who seek to return

 

I ask and I pray
It's good that hope was not yet lost

Alive, alive, alive - Yes, I'm still alive!
This is the song which grandfather
Sang yesterday to father
And today I [sing]

I'm still alive, alive, alive
The people of Israel live
This is the song which grandfather
Sang yesterday to father
And today I [sing]!

Alive alive alive

Alive alive alive
Alive, I'm still alive alive alive!
