Yam shel dma'ot bishtey einai,
Libi zo'ek, 'Shuva elai!'
Yam shel dma'ot bishtey einai,
Libi zo'ek, 'Shuva elai!'
Arukim haleilot miyom she'azavta,
Ha'aviv kmo hastav, kol kach afor
U'valev zichronot, min hastam kvar shachachta
U'tfila, tfila kena shetachazor.
Ma shomem hu chadri miyom she'azavta,
Hasha'on she'al hakir, libo nadam
U'voded bapina hakisse she'ahavta,
Bil'adecha ha'olam ko meyutam.
Yam shel dma'ot bishtey einai,
Libi zo'ek, 'Shuva elai!'
Koli shover et hadmama,
Hatishma? Hatishma?
'Od ashuv, yaldati', atah ko hivtachta,
'Rak chaki li vesheli hisha'ari'.
Im hazman rak michtav yechidi li shalachta,
Hadapim dahu mizman, gam se'ari.
Yam shel dma'ot bishtey einai,
Libi zo'ek, 'Shuva elai!'
Koli shover et hadmama,
Hatishma? Hatishma?...
