Transliteration:

Tnu lashemesh la'alot,
laboker leha-ir
Hazakah shebatfilot,
otanu lo tachzir

Let the sun rise
and give the morning light,
the purest prayer
will not bring us back.

Mi asher kavah nero
uve'afar nitman
bechi mar lo ye'iro
lo yachziro lechan

He whose candle was snuffed out
and was buried in the dust,
a bitter cry won't wake him,
won't bring him back.

Ish otanu lo yashiv,
mibor tachtit afel,
Kan lo yo'ilu,
lo simchat hanitzachon,
velo shirei halell!

Nobody will return us
from the dead dark pit.
Here, neither the joy of victory
nor songs of praise 
will help.

Lachen, rak shiru shir lashalom,
al tilchashu tefillah!
mutav tashiru shir lashlalom,
bitze'akak g'dolah!

So sing only for peace,
don't whisper a prayer,
it's better to sing a song for peace
with a giant shout!

Tnu lashemesh lachador,
miba'ad laprachim.
Al tabitu le-achor,
hanichu laholchim.

Let the sun penetrate
through the flowers,
don't look backward,
leave those who have departed.

Se-u einayim betikvah,
lo derech kavanot
shiru shir la-ahavah,
velo lamilchamot

Lift your eyes with hope
not through the rifle sights
sing a song for love
and not for wars.

Al tagidu yom yavo,
havi-u et hayom!!
Ki lo chalom hu
Uvechol hakikarot
hari'u lashalom!

Don't say "the day will come",
bring the day,
because it is not a dream.
And within all the city's squares,
cheer for peace.

Veshiru, shiru shir lashalom,
al telchashu tefillah!
mutav tashiru shir lashalom,
bitze'akah g'dolah

And sing, sing a song for peace,
don't whisper a prayer,
it's better to sing a song for peace
with a giant shout!
