Original lyrics (romanized):

Ze hazman lehit'akhed im kol haneshama
Ze halev veze hazman, it's now or never
Ze hazman lo lefakhed veliftoakh et halev
Raise your hands and pray for love together

Betokh libi akhshav ani yode'a
Rak ahava tatzit ta'lehava, yeah

Together we are one, ooh...
Tikva balev ola, hey...
I know that we, we can make it if we try
Look into your soul, listen to your heart
Ohav otakh la'ad

Ze hazman lehit'orer le'olam yafe yoter
Im ahava gdola balev laga'at
Ze hazman lehitkarev, en od pakhad mike'ev
Ohav otakh ad ovdan hada'at

Betokh libi akhshav ani yodea
Beguf ekhad nitzav
Ani shelakh la'ad, yeah

Together we are one
Tikva balev ola
I know that we, we can make it if we try
Look into your soul, listen to your heart

Bo'i venatkhil kmo yom khadash
Shuv noge'a bakh, kuli nirgash
Otzem eynay, khay et hakhalom
Ze harega, ze hazman, ze hayom
(Ze hayom, veohav otakh la'ad)

Together we are one
Tikva balev ola
I know that we, we can make it if we try
Look into your soul, listen to your heart

Ohav otakh la'ad Word for word translation:

This is the time to gather together with all your soul
This is the heart and this is the time, it's now or never
This is the time not to be afraid and to open up your heart
Raise your hands and pray for love together

Now I know in my heart
Only love shall light the flame, yeah

Together we are one, ooh...
Hope rises in our hearts, hey...
I know that we, we can make it if we try
Look into your soul, listen to your heart
I will love you forever

This is the time to wake up to a nicer world
To touch with a great love in our hearts
This is the time to come close, there is no more fear of pain
I will love you till I lose my mind

Now I know in my heart
In one upright body
I am yours forever, yeah

Together we are one
Hope rises in our hearts
I know that we, we can make it if we try
Look into your soul, listen to your heart

Let's start again like a new day
I touch you again, I'm all excited
I close my eyes, living the dream
This is the moment, this is the time, this is the day
(This is the day, and I will love you forever)

Together we are one
Hope rises in our hearts
I know that we, we can make it if we try
Look into your soul, listen to your heart

I will love you forever
