kvish yashan, shvil bagan, etz uvayit
aba kaan, ima sham, kaan nish-arti
ma she hayiti, pa-am mizman
ma she achshav, yaldut nishkachat..
tzrif yarok, lo yarok, beit ha sefer
mi nish-ar, mi avar,mi odenu
mah she hayinu, paam mizman
mah od mavi oti tamid al ota
yaldut nishkachat..
zocheret ekh halachnu derekh keva
le orekh ha rechov ha mit-roken
davar lo hishtana,
rak po va sham dohe ha tzeva
ulai ze rak ha lev she mizdaken
od shana kvar lamadnu
mi ani, mi ata, kvar ivadnu,
ma she hayinu, paam mizman
ma od mevi otkha tamid el ota
yaldut nishkachat..
zocher ekh she hivtakhnu bli ladaat
matai ve ekh nachzor lehi-pagesh
nidma sherak etmol,
aval ha shemesh kvar shokaat
ulai ze rak ha lev she mit-ragesh
shvil bagan, etz uvayit..
aba kaan, ima sham, kaan nish-arti
mah she hayiti paam mizman,
ma od mevi otkha tamid el ota
yaldut nishkachat..
