צל עץ תמר [Tzel Etz Tamar] [Transliteration]

Tsel ets tamar ve'or yareakh

U'manginat kinor taksim et ha'lev.

Ole ha'tslil roed, bokea,

Mi'metarim nishpakh keev.

Nagen kinor, nagen shirekha!

Ma rav ha'khoshekh ve'ha'keshet saviv!

Manginotekha yashkikhu et sivli.

Nagen! Nagena!

Le'kol tslilekha ma nayim hu ha'khalom!

Nagen! Nagena!

Shma, yareakh, et koli sham ba'marom!

Hoy, lama, lama

Bi'sfatkha hiksamtani,

Libi kavashta ve'azavtani

Ohev, koev ve'sovel?!

Nadam kinor, nekhba yareakh,

U'va'dmama hed mangina od nishma.

Al ma, ve'lama, El yodea,

Al ma olam akhzar va'ra?!

Me'arpiley afar tofiya

Dmut ahuva, tavey panim mukarim,

Kinor yashmia shay zikhronot ko neimim.

Nagen! Nagena!

Le'kol tslilekha ma nayim hu ha'khalom!

Nagen! Nagena!

Shma, yareakh, et koli sham ba'marom!

Hoy, lama, lama

Bi'sfatkha hiksamtani,

Libi kavashta ve'azavtani

Ohev, koev ve'sovel?!
