Ani nose imi et tza'ar hashtikah,
et nof ha'elem shesarafnu az mipachad,
ha'lo amart elai: "ha'ir kol kach reikah"
ha'lo amart elai: "nish'tok me'at beyachad."

Bechaloni kamlu kvar shoshanei hanocham,
bechaloni nis'tam chazon hamer'chavim,
rak harechovot od mechay'chim bim'lo harochev,
el kol eshnav matzat be'or ha'aravim.

Bo'i netze shuv lachutzot otam halachnu,
el safsalei ha'ahuvim began ha'ir.
Ulai nif'gosh od bapanim asher (she)shachachnu,
ulai nishma od mechadash oto hashir.

Bachalomot hahem al hasafsal hakar,
bachalomot hahem nar'dim et avarnu.
Ad sheyom echad gavoha umukar,
yipol shuv bin'shikot al tzavareinu.
