I have no other country ehud manor

Ein Li Eretz Acheret &#; I Have No Other Country
Lyrics: Ehud Manor
Music: Corinne Elal

I have no other country
even if my land is aflame
Just a word in Hebrew
pierces my veins and my soul
With a painful body, with a hungry heart,
Here is my home.

I will not stay silent
because my country changed her face

I will not give up reminding her
and sing in her ears
until she will open her eyes [chorus]

I have no other country
until she will renew her glorious days
until she will open her eyes [chorus]
