Tzipor metzaftzefet veruach lotefet
Vesof kvar lazemer hazeUnder the rock grows like a wonder
A very cute Cyclamen
The shining sun kisses it
And crowns her with a pink crownCyclamen, the bird whistles
Look at me for a minute
Beautiful Cyclamen hiding under the rock
Hiding from every thingBat sheva went out for a walk
The morning was bright
She collected every flower and plant
Her mouth full with a songBat sheva sings
Cyclamen looks out for a moment
Who is looking at me here? That's Cyclamen
Bat sheva gets closer slowlyBat sheva gets off the rock
A beautiful Cyclamen on her chest
A bird whistles the wind folndles
A this song comes to an end.
