אפר ואבק [Afar ve Avak] [Transliteration]

Yom aviv rechot lilach

bein chorvot ha'ir shelach

yom pafeh lidog banahar

betochi halev nishbar

sham haytah ve'einah

yaldutcha isha k'tanah.

anashim she'ish lo makir

ein afilu bayit sheyazkir.

Ve'im at nosa'at le'an at nosa'at

hanetzach hu rak afar ve'avak

le'an at nosa'at le'an at nosa'at

shanim veklum od lo nimchak.

K'chi me'il yihyeh lach kar

kesef kis, g'vish sukar

im yihyeh kashim hayamim

hizkeri bi lif'amim

ve'im zeh od mas'a no'esh

el hatz'rif, el hamigrash

b'msilat ha'ir hayeshanah

ish lo yechakeh batachanah.

Vei'm at nosa'at...

Mi yamtik leilotaich

mi yakshiv liv'chi'ech

mi yishmor tze'adaich bedarkech.

K'chi me'il yihyeh lach kar.
