Bashana haba'a neshev al hamirpeset V'nispor tziporim nod'dot Yeladim, bechoufsha, yesachaku tofeset Beyn habayit, l'ven hasadot Next year, we'll sit on the porch And count the migrating birds Children on vacation will play tag Between the house and the fields
Od tir'e, od tir'e Kama tov yihye Bashana, bashana haba'a You'll see, you'll see How good it will be Next year
Anavim adumim yavshilu ad ha'erev Veyugshu tzon'nim lashulchan Veruchot redumim, yis'u el em haderech Itonim yeshanim v'anan Red grapes will ripen by evening And will be served chilled at the table Lazy breezes will carry to the crossroads Old newspapers and a cloud
Od tir'e, od tir'e Kama tov yihye Bashana, bashana haba'a You'll see, you'll see How good it will be Next year
Bashana haba'a nifros kapot yadayim Mul ha'or hanigar halavan Anafa levana tifros ba'or knafayim Vehashemesh tizrakh b'tochan Next year we'll spread our hands To the streaming white light A white heron will spread its wings in the light And the sun will shine from within them
Od tir'e, od tir'e Kama tov yihye Bashana, bashana haba'a You'll see, you'll see How good it will be Next year
