I believe the English lyrics to Al Kol Eileh that Lori Shapiro posted are 
attributed to SAFAM.

  The English lyrics I have are a little different from the Shireinu - can't 
remember where I got them - I scribbled them in under the Hebrew years ago! 
  Sorry I can't give credit for the lyrics- 
  Lori Shapiro 

  Like the bee that brings the honey 
  Needs a stinger to compete 
  So our children learn to use 
  The bitter with the sweet. 

  And to keep the fires burning 
  In the night and in the day 
  For those who are returning 
  From so far away. 

  Don't uproot what has been planted 
  May our efforts never cease. 
  May our dearest wish be granted 
  Bring us peace - oh bring us peace. 

  For the sake of all our lives Lord 
  May your mercies be complete. 
  For the stinger and the honey 
  And the bitter and the sweet.
