Ben shtei kosot kafe ani levad
Alit legag sichakt tofeset
Ve'ani od mechake lach beknisa
Imri, lean at memaheret?
Lama lach lalechet? Kvar shanim shelo hirgashti kacha
Lama at shoelet im yesh yetsia? Tiftechi et hadelet
Mima at mefachedet?
Chaki lalaila she yavo, hu yefached shuv leaem elaich
Kama ratsiti aval lo, tavini she'ani machur elaich
At hatrufa lekol hakeev, shemistovev etsli balev
Hapachad haze oti lo ozev, hu mevaker oti kol yom
Halaila shuv yored ani levad
Ve'eifo at? Kvar sof haseret
Ve'ani od mechake lach baknisa
Shuv hashir she'at ohevet
Lama lach lalechet? Kvar shanim shelo hirgashti kacha
Lama at shoelet im yesh yetsia? Tiftechi et hadelet
Mima at mefachedet?
Chaki lalaila she yavo, hu yefached shuv leaem elaich
Kama ratsiti aval lo, tavini she'ani machur elaich
At hatrufa lekol hakeev, shemistovev etsli balev
Hapachad haze oti lo ozev, hu mevaker oti kol yom
Chaki lalaila she yavo ani od kan
Mechake she rak tagidi li lean
Kama ratsiti aval lo matsati zman
Chaki lalaila she yavo...
