Yesh Tikvah - Benny Friedman
Yesh Tikvah

תסתכל פה ושם
מסביב לעולם
יש צרות, דאגות
החיוך נעלם
אך אל תראה רק שחור
כי גם זה יעבור
והכל יסתדר
כי ד' יעזור

(Chorus:)
יש תקוה
אם נשיר כולנו יחד
יש אמונה חזקה מכל הפחד
לא נפול, לא נרעד
כי אנחנו לא לבד
 יש לנו ד' אחד

היי, אחי
בוא איתי
שים ידך בידי
אל תדאג, אל תפחד
כי נצעד יד ביד
הקדוש ברוך הוא
את כולנו אוהב
עוד תראה שמחר
ייגמר הכאב
(Chorus:)

  1. English translation:

    Look around, far and near
    Where’s the joy, where’s the cheer
    Why the fear, why the frown
    Why the smile upside down
    Shake yourself from the dust
    Scrape your soul from the rust
    Know that this too shall pass
    For in G-d we trust

    (Chorus:)
    There is hope
    If we sing our hope together
    We have faith that is stronger than the terror
    No despair, no dismay
    Everything will be okay
    He is with us night and day

    Brother dear
    Dry your tears
    Take my hand, never fear
    Let’s advance, side by side
    And let’s cast our fright aside
    Don’t forget all the love
    That we have from Above
    And you’ll see with the dawn
    All the pain will be gone

  2. A more accurate English:

    Take a look, here and there,

    [and] around the world,

    there are pains, [and] worries

    the smile[s] is [are] gone,
    but don't be afraid, even [when all seems] if black

    b/c this, too, will pass

    and all will work out

    b/c G-d strengthens you...

    (Chorus)

    There is hope,

    if we [cry out/plead with] praise him all together

    [b/c] faith is stronger than fear

    [we] won't "fall", won't tremble

    b/c we are not alone

    we have the one G-d


    dear brother,

    come with me

    put your hand in my hand

    don't worry, don't be afraid,

    b/c we stand, hand in hand

    The holy One, blessed is He

    loves everyone

    don't be afraid any further, b/c tomorrow [you will see]

    He will remove all of the pain

    (Chorus)

  5. The second translation is far more accurate, but they both convey the same message.

  17. Anyone looking for the lyrics to the yiddish yesh tikvah


    ווי מקוקט- ווי מבליקט
    די וועלט אזוי געדריקט
    ס׳דא צרות- ס׳דא דאגות
    א יעדער מיט זיין פראגעס
    ווי מגייט זעהט מען שווארץ
    ס׳טוט וויי ס׳ציפט דאס הארץ
    געדענק אבער אז ניין
    ס׳וועט שנעל אריבערגיין.

    יש תקוה- אין די לופטן זיך אויפהייבן
    יש אמונה- מיר אלע טוען גלייבן
    מער נישט געפאלן- ס׳וועט שטראלן
    ווייל יעדער גלייבט אין ג-ט
    יש לנו ה׳ אחד!

    ברודער לעבן קום אהער
    שטיי אויף וויש אפ דיין טרער
    דארפסט נישט זארגן- געדענק אז מארגן
    גארנישט וועט זיין מער
    הקדוש ברוך הוא
    וואס איז דער איינציגער ג-ט
    וועט אונז היטן טריט און שריט
    ווייל ליב אונז ער האט...

    יש תקוה- אין די לופטן זיך אויפהייבן
    יש אמונה- מיר אלע טוען גלייבן
    מער נישט געפאלן- ס׳וועט שטראלן
    ווייל יעדער גלייבט אין ג-ט
    יש לנו ה׳ אחד!
