Uchvar avar dei zman me'az shehayinu po,
sim lev ech mashehu po hishtanah.
Shinu et habamah,
atah zocher ech chayinu po,
bein shir leshir bein dim'ah lemanginah.
Katavti lemishehu michtav,
tzerafti tzilum dahui,
shneinu ochazim na'arah,
ne'echazim bemashehu.
Ba'ir hazot yesh elef ne'arot ulai,
rak ani gar levad,
im kelev sheshomer alai.

Uch'var avar dei zman me'az hatzilum hahu,
hitchatanti benataim,
lamah ata lo over?
Ha'ahavah hi mashehu,
lif'amim hi od ta'ut,
al hamilchamah ani lo rotzeh ledaber.
Katavti lemishehi michtav,
michtav avud bli k'tovet,
al hashulchan notrah pitkah shel ahavah.
Katavti lah: ani ohev otach,
ohev ad mavet,
ani ohev otach ad ahavah.

Teshev, teshev, nis'a lahofa'ah shenit,
nishkach me'efo banu.
Choshev, choshev,
mas'a kazeh la'ananim,
vadai yo'il gam lanu.

Anachnu k'mo shirim mitnahalim beketzev,
ra'inu(-ti) anashim bochim be'etzev,
dibarnu(-ti) kvar alfei milim beretzef,
az mah ratzinu(-ti) lehagid be'etzem?

Shech'var avar dei zman,
hazman ha'amiti kvar lo movil oti
leshum makom.
Ani choshev al horai,
she'asu oti,
ani choshev al yeladai
she'asiti ad hayom.
Ken, kvar avar dei zman,
hakayitz shuv matchil,
mesir et hab'gadim nihyah li kal.
Ha'esev mityabesh,
nachash ba'asavim
lochesh u mitkachesh le'od korban.

Teshev, teshev...

Anachnu k'mo shirim...

Shech'var avar dei zman,
me'az shehayinu po,
sim lev ech mashehu po hishtanah.
