Hi Jackie and list - 
 
Hebrew Songs.com has hundreds of songs with transliterations and
translations, many with the text also in Hebrew;  links to where you can buy
the original CD, information about the artist and - as Adrian would say -
much more.
 
I've just gone through the Hanashir list and noticed all the messages about
this song. 

I am biased of course, but in my opinion we have the best singable
translation to Al Kol Eleh, sent in to us by the world giant of Jewish
folksinging himself, Theodore Bikel.

Click here for the link and enjoy the fruits of our labour.

Excellent! Thank you! What a wealth of choices. I should have thought of

Don't ask me where I got them from but these are the English lyrics I have
and it says it's Naomi Shemer's.  Let me know if you like it. 

AL KOL ELEH         MUSIC & WORDS:  Naomi Shemer 

Keep an eye on God forever, on our hurts and pleasures too. 

Of the good and bad together, let us sing for you. 

Keep a watch on God forever, over all the Promised Land. 

Bring our children home together, from the far away land. 



CHORUS: Al kol ei-leh, al kol ei-leh -- Sh'mor na li ei-li ha-tov. 

                       Al ha-d'vash v'al ha-o-ketz -- Al ha-mar v'ha-mo-tok.




                        Al na ta'a-kor na-tu'a -- Al tish-kach et
ha-tik-vah. 

                        Ha-shi-vei-ni v'a-shu-vah -- El ha-a-retz ha-to-va. 



All these precious things forever, please preserve oh God please do. 

All the good and bad together, honey sweet and bitter too. 

Hope and peace oh send forever, we will rise to take a stand. 

Let us live here all together, in our holy Promised Land. 

CHORUS:
