Thank you Alice and all for your help with "Artza Alinu". I'm off to the 
library to see if I can find "Israel in Song." Hope it is around, or I'll 
just have to read the words :-)

Dear Margie -

You can find the song in Tara's Israel in Song, p. 15.  It is a folk song
from the Chalutzim. The transliteration from there is:

Artza alinu
k'var charuashnu v'gam zaranu
aval od lo katzarnu

In the introduction, Velvel writes:  Artza Alinu is one of the best known of
Israeli songs.  This early pioneer hora proclaims that we have returned to
our homeland and have begun our work.  The fruit of our labors is yet [to]
come.

Hope this helps.

Alice
