40. Naśikkukayilla Ini Nām (We Will Not Be Destroyed)

A Zionist song composed in the early 1950s and set to an unidentified Hindi film tune. It expresses the willingness to die "for our brethren and our belored country”.

Text

Chorus
We'll never again be destroyed, we the Jewish people!
For our brethren and our beloved country, we'll give up our lives.
We will never again be destroyed, we the Jewish people.
For our brethren and our beloved country, we'll give up our lives.

For all the last two thousand years
How we suffered without self-rule!
Now after those two thousand years
We have our nation, we have our nation.

Chorus

If you are born, you must die,
But during your lifetime you must succeed.
To God-given Israel - come, let us go,
Come, let us go,

Chorus
