Lo hayiti meshaneh shum davar

tov li lihyot itach kachah

Ki ani zocher et hapa'am harishonah

zocher she'af pa'am lo hitragashti kol kach
kol mah sheratziti hayah rak lihyot itach.
Zocher shesha'alt im ani ohev otach
at zocheret she'aniti she'ani kuli shelach?
Kach o kach ani lo eshkach

ni'a li shepashut ani noladti lach.

Lo hayiti meshaneh shum davar...

Al tish'ali oti "ve'im" "ve'ech"
