Lyrics

Hebrew English translation[4]

תקוף, תעשה פיגועים
טלטל, גרום לזעזועים
חסל את כל הציונים
זעזע את ביטחונה של ישראל

לחתור למגע עם הציונים
לשרוף מחנות וחיילים
את הביטחון של ישראל זעזע
לחצוב להבות אש וולקנים

מדינת חולשה ותעתועים
מעמד במלחמה לא מחזיקים
כקורי עכביש הם מתגלים
כשהמפגש עם אבירים

זעזע את ביטחונה של ישראל
תדליק בליבה כמו כורים
מוטט אותה עד ליסודות
תדביר את קן תיקנים
גרש את כל הציונים

לבבות הציונים כל אחד פונה
לכיוון אחר ואין מזדהה
ממוות נבהלים והם מתחבאים
מאחורי חומות וממוגנים

צבא של אשליה ולא יוצלח
אבד עליו הכלח, ונאלח
חייליו כעכברים בשדה יבש
קרב ובא מותם וירי תפתח

תמטיר כבר אותם, המון טילים
תעשה את עולמם מחזה אימים
תצרוב להם בתודעה נס גדול
כי הם מגורשים ואנו נשארים

Attack, do terror attacks,
Rock them, inflict terrible blows,
Eliminate all the Zionists,
Shake the security of Israel

Aim to make contact with the Zionists,
To burn bases and soldiers,
Shake the security of Israel,
Reveal volcanic flames of fire!

A country of weakness and delusion,
When it comes to war, they cannot hold out,
They blow away like spider’s webs,
When they meet the valiant!

Shake the security of Israel,
Set its heart on fire like furnaces,
Demolish her down to her foundations,
Exterminate the nest of cockroaches,
Expel all the Zionists!

The hearts of the Zionists, each one turns,
In a different direction, and does not identify,
They are frightened by death, and they run to hide,
Behind walls and in reinforced rooms!

It is an army of illusion, it will not succeed,
Its time is past, and it is polluted,
Its soldiers are like mice in a parched field,
Get close then open fire, all at once!

Rain on them, now, multitude of missiles,
Turn their world into a scene of horrors,
Burn into their minds a great miracle:
That they are being expelled, and we are going to stay!
