Anthem of Tel Chai
by Ze'ev Jabotinsky

What are your sickles for?
Where is the crop, brothers?
For by the sown seeds
Will be built Tel Chai!
 
The name Tel Chai will be sanctified –
The symbol of plowing creating energy.
 
In your hands a shield and sword –
What are they for, brothers?
So they should rest in peace
All the builders of Tel Chai.
 
The name Tel Chai will soar high
The symbol of the strength of the Jew!
 
In front of you the book is open –
What is the song, brothers?
For the truth was planted in the ashes
Of the heroes of Tel Chai.
 
The name of Tel Chai will live forever –
The symbol of the Jewish spirit.
 
 Let us arm ourselves, body and soul
And let us arise, brothers.
To fight, to strive, to plant
And to build Tel Chai!
 
The name of Tel Chai is the symbol of a generation –
The symbol of work, strength and light!
