בחור נחמד [Bachor Nechmad] [Transliteration]

Kol ha-zman ata noten li

Makhmaot bli hafsaka.

Ba-rekhov ata tzoek li:

"At yafa ve-metuka!"

Be-'avoda ata mafria,

Ze kashe lehitrakez.

Mul beyti ata mafria,

Af shniya lo mevazbez.

Ata bakhur nekhmad,

Ata bakhur maksim,

Ani pokhedet,

She-ata, ulay, magzim.

Omer milim yafot,

Yode'a lefargen,

Nishb'ati she itcha

Ani lo etakhnen.

Michtavim elay shalakhta,

Kharuzim kmo pninim.

Merakhefet li ba-osher,

Margisha be-'ananim.

Kol ha-mishpakha shoelet,

Mi ze, ha-bakhur ha-ze,

She-sovev lach et ha-rosh

Ve-natan lach bum kaze.

Ata bakhur nekhmad...
