Mami, kama zman anachnu makirim?
Lo meshane li im ze li margish chaim
Mami, kama zman anachnu yeshenim?
Hespaknu kvar lachlom al mishpacha veyeladim.
Ve-yesh li ba-lev ahava kazot
Sheyachola lehaziz harim,
Im at rotza od mimeni hayom ...
Ani mavtiach she-im tivki iti - ze misimcha.
Kol ha-osher ba-olam, ease otach malka.
Ani mavtiach,
Gam ba-heket, gam baseara
Ve-im nish'aer rak shneinu
Lo yihye ma she-yafrid beineinu.
Mami kmo kulam ulay od naavor kshaim.
Nabit lahem amok amok amok letoch haeinaim.
Im chibuk echad shelach hu mechaye metim -
Az ma ze koshi shel hayom yom leumat shnaim.
Ki yesh lach balev ahava kazot
Sheyachola lehaziz harim
At rotza od mimeni hayom...
