Ribono shel olam, im nedaber gluiyot
Lifamim ein li koach be'olamcha lihiyot
Ana mipanecha estater?
Ma et-an, ma etstadak, ma adaber?
Chanun verachum hen lefanecha galui
Kan yehudi she'al chut haseara hu talui
Nilcham ba'atsvut, baye'ush hamecharsem ketola'at
Hasimcha nistalka mimeni vegam hada'at
Kolot meha'avar lochashim li la'atsor
Aval ani mosif bachoshech lachtor
Vesho'el u'mvakesh, aiyeka?!
Otto zaken u'ksil sholeach bi chitsim
Ani holech vekoshel, hu holech u'ma'atsim
Neshama kdosha, al na tivki, shvurat kanaf
Hen ta'idi alai kama hayiti nichsaf
Kshesodot meha'avar pakdu alai la'atsor
Aval ani mosif bachoshech lachtor
Vesho'el u'mvakesh, aiyeka?!
Besofo shel yom hen epalet el hachof
Ha'adama harachuma otti eleha ta'asof
Ve'az ets'ak ve'etstadak ve'asaper
Ech bachoshech haze hayiti choter
Vesho'el u'mvakesh vekosef! Aiyeka?!
