Ms. Eplin's class is working on a song from Israel called "Artsa Alinu." This song is from Israel and is sung in Hebrew. Israel is a very young country and was established in 1948. This song expresses the people’s love of the land, which they value so highly that there is dispute over it now. It is a small country near the Mediterranean Sea with a population of about 7.5 million people. Most are Jewish but there are many people of other religions too. Here are the lyrics, a pronunciation guide, as well as a translation of the text:
Lyrics:
Artsa alinu, artsa alinu, artsa alinu
(repeat)
K'var cha-rash-nu v'gam za-ra-nu (repeat)
A-val od lo ka-tsar-nu (repeat 3 times)
Pronunciation:
ahr-tsah ah-lee-noo (repeat 6 times)
kvahr hkhah-rahsh-noo veh-gahm zah-rah-noo (repeat)
ah-vahl ohd loh kah-tsahr-noo (repeat 3 times)
Translation:
We have come to the land, our home
We have plowed and we have sown
But we've not yet reaped our own
