I carry in my heart a dream
A flag of peace & a land redeemed
But in my dream a wall of wire
Stone & iron forged in fire
On the wall a soldier stands
Keeps us out of our own land
Borders tear us all apart
On the ground & in the heart
While we all must learn to conquer hate
What's a nation without a state?
The land is holy, but for whom?
God of the star or the crescent moon?
Well no one freely gives up power
We alone can take what's ours
Without freedom, without land
Here in exile we do stand
Without justice, without peace
Dumai Dumai Dumai
Just a dream become a beast
Dumai Dumai Dumai
Where will exile draw the line?
Dumai Dumai Dumai
In Israel or Palestine?
Dumai Dumai Dumai
Nisht keyn tsedek, nisht keyn sholem
Dumai Dumai Dumai
Nor a kholem gevorn a golem
Dumai Dumai Dumai
Voser folk on a medina?
Dumai Dumai Dumai
Say yisroel say palestina

The song is roughly the same in the Yiddish and English. Note that думать/dumai(t) is Russian, and is the word “to think”. I will provide the direct translation of the Yiddish pieces however as some differences remain

THINK
I have in my heart a dream,
think, think, think
I raise a flag of peace,
think, think, think
But in my dream stands a wall,
think, think, think
Full of pain and full of sadness.
think, think, think
On the wall stands a soldier,
think, think, think
Behind him the green fields,
think, think, think
Too many borders have been built,
think, think, think
On land and in men.
think, think, think
We will overcome the borders
think, think, think
Only when hatred is removed.
think, think, think
To whom shall the land belong?
think, think, think
To the people of the moon or the the people of the star?
think, think, think
Nobody will give us freedom,
think, think, think
We should reach for it ourselves.
think, think, think
A stranger is what I am,
think, think, think
There is exile in our land.

In Israel or Palestine?

No justice, no peace;
think, think, think
Just a dream that has become a golem.
think, think, think
Which folk without a country?
think, think, think
Both Israel and Palestine?
