הקולב [HaKolav] [Transliteration]

Kol hachayim lefached le'abed,

Ze kol hachayim chetzi ben adam

Ze kol hachayim sibim shel chultza

Vere'ach kalush shenamog im hazman.

Kol hachayim lishon be'anan

Velinshof velish'of oto ha'ashan,

Velishtof et ha’or nakvubit nakvubit,

Velimtzo she’ein klum betachtit hatachtit,

Velirkod bli lazuz,

Velitzchok be'avit,

Velaredet al arba kdei lichrot et habrit

She'bein anashim lebein hayladim

Shegulfu min hageza vehafchu ligvarim.

Kol hachayim lefached le'abed

Ze lo hatmuna sheyesh li mimcha

Mechurbal veka'uv ve'roed bamita

Megamgem bli linshom mul kol hakita

Mekapel et atzmo el toch meluna

Doche al hasaf neshika rishona

Mit'orer la'asot aruchot shel shina

Ma'anish et atzmo ve'omed bapina.

Hi lo omra lecha klum kshetalta et atzma

Al hakolav hayashan bachadar hashina

Hi yatza mehacheder ume’az lo chazra,

Vehish'ira machtesh betoch hatikra

Vehish'ira ruchot bechalal hadira

Vehish'ira otcha im avit besafa

Vetmna shel atzma achzarit veyafa...
