"O our beautiful land imprisoned in a cage and surrounded by wolves,
My shaded garden, the tormentors have destroyed you,
and the dogs have settled in you, O Jerusalem, O my city,
With my notebook and pencil and the fire of my rifle I will shatter the cage,
I will kill the wolves and plant the flag,
The dogs will not bark in the heroic cities."
