Bematos silon

rak im dayelet ve'anan.
Shtei dakot lin'chot,

uvein shnei eleh yesh od zman.

Az ani poneh lefet'a

"yesh li she'elah achat leha'avir:

ke'ilu zeh lemalah?"
harei hi tzipor shechayah ba'avir.

Shtei eineiha mechay'chot,
"she'elah shel hash'kafah,
im chaim yoter nachon,
az lo meshaneh eifo!"

Bematos silon,

rak im dayelet ve'anan.
Shtei dakot lin'chot,

Venirdam pashut likrata

az lamah chagorot habitachon?"

Shtei eineiha margi'ot:
"she'elah shel hash'kafah,

Bematos silon,

Shtei dakot lin'chot,

"Im atah over t'alailah
az siman shek'var avarta
at merchak halev min hamachar,
vechayita k'tzat lemalah,
vechayita k'tzat lematah,
ha'ikar chayita ki basof tinchat."

Ani mabit bah umechayech:
"she'elah shel hash'kafah"
achshav ani yode'a, ech
