The Hatikvah text was written by the Galician poet Naphtali Herz Imber in Jassy ( Romania) in 1871 as a nine- stanza poem named Tikavatenu ("Our Hope").
In 1897, at the First Zionist Congress, it became the hymn of Zionism; later it was arranged by the composer Paul Ben-Haim, who based the composition partly on Romanian Jewish folk tunes.
Later the text was edited by the settlers of Rishon LeZionRishon LeZion or Rishon LeZiyyon is a city in Israel, on the central coastal strip, in the Center District of Israel, just south of Tel Aviv, and part of the Tel Aviv metropolitan area ( Gush Dan).

Folk music arose, and best survives, in societies not yet affected by mass communication and the commercialization of culture. It normally was shared and performed by the entire song, or another source.
Hatikvah is written in a minor key, one that may seem depressing or mournful to some people. However, as the title ("The Hope") would indicate, the mood of the song is uplifting.
Here is the text in Hebrew with accompanying transliteration and translation in English:

כל עוד בלבב פנימה עוד לא אבדה תקותנו, |
Kol od balevav
P'nimah - Od lo avdah tikvatenu |
As long as deep in the heart,
Our hope is not yet lost, |
The first line of the chorus, "Our hope is not yet lost" (עוד לא אבדה תקותנו) has been compared to the opening of the Polish national anthem "Poland is not yet lost" (Jeszcze Polska nie zginela) and similarities between Zionism and the Polish nationalist movement have been pointed out.
