(Aliyah Bet) (Af Al Pi)
(interpreted from Hebrew) as reprinted in The Four-Front War, by William R. Perl, copyright 1978
It does not matter, brother, From where you came or why To board this moving deck. Crammed from hole to smokestack, It's a battleship - this wreck - Though it has no guns. We are warriors thereon, Though we have no arms of iron, Yet we have an iron will, Against all odds To build the future of our land Win we shall. Our nation and our land We shall make them live again.
