Lyrics

From: http://hebrewsongs.com/song-korimlanulalechet.htm

Shuv roim bakvishim mitzadeinu
Umagbir hatarmil tiltulav
Shuv haemek nifras letzideinu
Veharechev nissah mealav
Ach ashrei shetzaad umadeinu
Veiachal lishneihem bereglav

Ki tzchok pirchei habar
Kvar mitgagel bamidronot
Venassu hagshamim vehashalechet
Ve'elef mizmorim bemeimiot ubagronot
Korim, korim lanu lalechet

Shuv keaz kabirim hem hamaim
Hagmuim bessitrei chanaiot
Shuv kaaz meshagim et haain
Hadshaim beimkei geaiot
Ki pi sheva artzi niflaah hi
Hamoded et iofiah bifssiot

Shuv gam negba portzu gam galila
Kol tzivot haaviv pirchachim
Shuv tmimut horakea hikchila
Vechachevre ovrim badrachim
Vechazrim al hazemer chalila
Ve olchim, ve olchim, ve olchim
