Kol hayom oved kmo meshuga ken
Boneh karyera od siba lede'aga ken
Amok bifnim otah tchusha azah ken
Shekulam gonvim otti, shula zaken
Yotse ladrachim kvishim pkukim, ze tipa malchits
Hachayim hem kmo mas'chetat mitsim, achuya mashprits
Ein ksaffim hakissim lechutsim, nihiya li matish
Vehachayim ossim anashim kashim, rotsa lehargish?
Bur ve'am ha'arets hamassa sheli mefarech
Haderech aruka vehashvil rak mit'arech
Kol ha'emtsa'im ksherim velekesef baduk nits'tarech
Az beintayim bo nizrom al haketsev asbir lachem ech
Ze holech, kulam lehistader vena lashevet
Yeladim ze sh'at sipur, t[e]nachshu mi ‘chief’ hashevet
Amarti la hachayim hem kmo galgal, hee anta "Kapara hem kmo shavshevet"
Chiyachti vehemshachti le'ashen kemo katar rakevet
Hegati ad lekan ve'al tish'al ech
An'lo omed batsad, oved bafarech
Hem sha'alu "Le'an?" aniti ana'aref
Bur ve'am ha'arets, bur bur ve'am ha'arets
Ein li hochachot chotchot shtuyot beselek
Yom yom kol ha'olam shoteh li ta'dam veta'delek
Sharmutot matsikot ba'ot holchot, kuss'emek
Walla exiyot ozvot velo chozrot, betsedek
Kol erev chozer le'oto bait
Mega MC im machssor be-‘megabyte’
Kaffe shachor, sigaryot ‘winston lite’
Bachalomot aff me'al kulam, mamri kmo ayit
Lo ro'eh mimeter, lo ikvi velo simetri
Bur ve'am ha'arets, lo bagrut lo psichometri
Lo psichotechni, lo ettending la'externi
Rastaman ashkenazi poeti sh'chunati moderni
Im tirtsu, ein zo agada, talui baswagga
Even mitgalgelet kra le-‘nechi1’ mick jagga
Pashut kemo ABC o abagada
Tachnis et hapizmon vetfadal, hal'ah, challas...
[Chorus]
Tagid li ma, ma koreh itcha
Tagid li ma, ma ihiye itcha
Tagid li ma, ma yitse mimcha
Yeled meshuga ani achuz teruf
Tagid li ma, ma koreh itcha
Tagid li ma, eifo telech atah
Tagid li ma, ma yitse mimcha
Chaku tir'u
