Zum gali gali gali zum gali gali
Zum gali gali gali zum gali gali
Hechalutz le'man avodah
Avodah le'man hechalutz
Avodah le'man hechalutz
Hechalutz le'man avodah
[translation: The pioneer is for his work, work is for the pioneer]
(Chorus)
Hechalutz le'man hab'tulah
Hab'tulah le'man hechalutz
Hab'tulah le'man hechalutz
Hechalutz le'man hab'tulah
[translation: The pinoeer is for his friend...]
(Chorus)
From the dawn 'till setting sun
Every one finds work to be done
From the dawn 'till night does come
There's a task for everyone
(Chorus)
Join together in a song
Make the day's work seem half as long
Join together in a song
Came and dance and join in the song
(Chorus)
Zum!
