Lyrics

Hineh mah tov umah nayim.

Shevel aheem gam yahad.

Hineh mah tov umah nayim.

Shevel aheem gam yahad.

Hineh mahtov shevet aheem gam yahad.

Hineh mahtov shevet aheem gam yahad.

How good it is and how pleasant

for people to dwell together.

How good it is and how pleasant

for people to dwell together.

Good and pleasant, people in peace together.

Good and pleasant, people in peace together.

(based on Psalm 133:1)
