Shinuei mezeg ha'avir hevi'u oti lach'shov
shemilvadam ani atzuv gam biglalech.
Leyad habayit shehayah beiti, sal'lu rechov,
ani yode'a mashehu po mishtaneh.
Hineh anan,
domeh le'od ananim shech'var chalfu,
uvechol zot od - ani ro'eh tzurot.

Pa'am hayiti mekarev
et kol haguf lin'shikot,
hayiti ba etzlech, lomed hakol.
Pa'am hayu bi od anashim,
notru li rak shemot,
gam yam mochek shemot - k'tuvim bachol.
Aval achshav ani yode'a,
shebechol zot at iti,
uveyachad, shneinu yachad, noldim.

Chilufei ha'anashim hevi'u oti lach'shov
shemilvadech lo nish'ar li af echad le'ehov.
Leyad habayit shehayah beiti, sal'lu rechov,
ani yode'a mashehu al ra vetov.
Hineh yam,
domeh le'od yam, ve'od yam, ve'od nimshach.
Tamid yesh yam, tamid yeshnah sirah.

Pa'am hayiti mekarev...

Mah she'amart umah she'lo, hevi oti lach'shov,
shehamilim shelanu nifgashot.
Leyad habayit shehayah beiti, sal'lu rechov,
natnu lo shem, tamid notnim shemot.
Hineh gam at,
pa'am at domah layam, ufa'am lo,
pa'am at sham, ufa'am at po.

Pa'am hayiti mekarev...
