Tam velo nishlam
Nekhtam od perek ba'olam
Ani emtsa li or katan
Ani emtsa tikva k'tana ba'afela shebekhayayi
Lu rak yakholti
Az ulay asim et kol hake'asim,
Et kol hapakhad, hashkarim shebekhayayi
Tam velo nishlam
Tamid eheye oto adam
Hamekhapes kemo kulam
Lihiyot od mashehu ba'olam
Hamenukar vehapoge'a,
Ze shero'e, ze sheshome'a
Hametsi'ut ha'aguma, kmo ahava shene'elma...
Az ani bore'akh venose'a elayikh
Vekol khalom hu kmo nitsots be'eynayikh
Ani nose'a veyode'a-
Eyn makom akher.
Uk'mo ekhad shemenase,
Lihiyot od mashehu ba'olam haze...
Ani otser, ani tsore'akh
Mi hayore? Mi harotse'akh?
Mi shedaras vene'elam?
Mi mit'orer u'mi nirdam?
Mi hara'ev? Mi hasave'a?
Mi shemak'shiv, mi sheyode'a,
Heykhan haderekh mat'khila?
Beyn kvish mahir o minhara?
Az ani bore'akh venose'a elayikh...
