Yafe hakaitz be-ito
BeHar haGilboa
Nishan Shaul al chanito
BeHar haGilboa
Rak na'ar yarimo
Rak na'ar mibney Amalek
Yavesh vacham yavesh vacham
Hakaitz ba'emek
How beautiful is the summer time
On Mount Gilboa
King Shaul leaned on his lance
On Mount Gilboa
Only a boy from the Amalek people
Will lift him
The summer in the valley is dry and hot

Nifras ha'erev me'al
Al har haGilboa
Haya hakaitz kmo achshav
BeHar haGilboa
Mineged haTavor
Vehar Chermon bamerchak
Ke'ilu lo avru shanim
BeHar haGilboa
The evening spreads over Mount Gilboa
It was summer time - just like now
Mount Tavor on the opposite side
Mount Chermon can be seen from a distance
It's like it was yesterday
On Mount Gilboa

Ulai haya sharav
Uali zo hayta shat shkia'a
Ulai shkiat zahav kmo hayom be'ota hasha'a
May be it was a heat wave
May be sunset time
May be a golden sunset like today at the same time
