Song of the Field Units
The song of the Field Units we shall sing in remembrance,Dark, dark is the valley: Company, prepare!
There goes, there goes the Unit at night all in a row,
There goes the Field Units onto the fire and shield.
Wait for us, my land, on the trails of your mountains,
Wait for us on the wide open bread fields!
Your boys have carried peace upon their plows,
Now they carry peace upon their guns, all for you.
Field Units - Arise, climb up the mountain
Field Units - Conquer!
At a place where no man has passed,
That is where The Fosh shall go through.
For a mother and a son and a father we shall build an artillery battery!
Field Units, it is not over, the battle is not over
Field Units, march forward!
In vain, in vain they said: Only the days are ours,
In vain they said: Fire and theft are for the night,
The night and day were given to the living,
The night and day are the Land of Israel!
From the plain of the shore to the barbed-wire fences,
And from mountain caves and from valleys and ravines,
We shall bring back the day, my land, and the night as well,
We shall bring them back to you for all that lives!
Field Units...
For not in vain, my brother, you've plowed and built,
This war is for our soul and home!
Jo'ara, Tel Amal, Kinneret and Hanita,
You are our flags, and we are the wall.
For we will not turn back, and there is no other way,
No nation shall retreat from the foundations of its life.
There goes, there goes the Field Units at night all in a row,
Your face, my homeland, goes with them unto battle!
Field Units...
Taken from 'Pizmonim VeShirey Zemer'
[Third verse]
We will not be frightened by foes, we will not be stopped by wire,
From the Negev to the North, atop mountains and valleys,
We shall bring back the day, my land, and the night as well,
We shall bring them back to you for all that lives - -
