Shanim kilometrim okyanus gadol
Makim bi ke'ilu azavtem etmol
Barachtem mimeni besheket kol kach
Im lo mipanai az me'esh hamizrach
Lo lo ein bi ka'as elecha yoter
Ze rak ga'agua eleha chaver
Hee amra od lifney shenitkalnu becha
"Rak hamavet yafrid beineinu
Ahava rishona hee tamid achrona"
Ve'achshav ani chai vehi chaya itcha
Az tagid la im hee do'eget
Sheha'ahava otti horeget
(INTERLUDE)
Lefi sh'on hachoref etsli ze chamesh
Vesham betach esser kvar lo nipagesh
Yesh neshef silvester babait leyad
Eshte lichvodchem et halaila levad
Vehi pa'am hivticha kederech isha
"Af echad lo yavo beineinu
Ahava rishona hee tamid achrona"
Veha'erev nichneset shana chadasha
Veha'ir misaviv chogeget
Ha'ahava otti horeget
Hakol tsodek ba'ahava
Afilu hagneva
Ha'ohavim chafim mipesha
Veze hakol shana tova
Mimeni bitshuva
He'emanti lifney shelakachta otah
Bamilim shenishbanu shneinu
"Ahava rishona hee tamid ahava achrona"
Ve'achshav ani kan levadi bamita
Hamar'ah mimuli lo'eget
Ahava horeget
