K'SHENASANU HA'IRAH LEVAKER ET DOD EFRAIM
Ksh’nasanu ha’irah levaker et dod Efraim
Ra’inu hamon chanuyot shel na’alaim
Vechashavti: im pitom yichlitu hana’alaim
Latzot mihazchuchit velechapes lahen raglaim, yihyeh po same’ach
Ksh’nasanu ha’irah levaker et dod Efraim
Ra’inu chanuyot tza’atzuim begivataim
Sha’alu oti “mah atah rotzeh?”
Amarti “ofanaim”
Amru li “beseder. Bashana haba’ah”
Ksh’nasanu ha’irah levaker et dod Efraim
Avarnu al yad ish im chorim bagarbaim
Hayu lo panim atzuvot, hu nisha’an al makel
Ima amrah li lo lehistakel, aval histakalti
Ksh’nasanu ha’irah levaker et dod Efraim
Ze haya bachoref, lifneh sh’nataim
Me’az gadalti, kvar yesh li ofanaim
Kim’at shachachti shepa’am haiti ben shalosh
Rak ha’ish ha’ani im hachorim bagarbaim lo yotzeh li miharosh

WHEN WE WENT TO TOWN TO VISIT UNCLE EFRAIM
When we went to town to visit Uncle Efraim
We saw a lot of shoeshops
And I thought: if suddenly the shoes decided
To come out of the glass and to search themselves legs
It will be happiness here
When we went to town to visit Uncle Efraim
We saw shops with hills of toys
They asked me “what do you want?”
I said “a bicycle”
They told me “OK, next year”
When we went to town to visit Uncle Efraim
We passed by a man with holes in his socks
He had a sad face, he leaned on a walking stick
Mother said to me, don’t look, but I looked
When we went to town to visit Uncle Efraim
That was in the winter, two years ago
Since then I have grown, I already have a bicycle
I almost forgot that once I was three years old
Only the poor man with the holes in the socks doesn’t go out of my head.
