Ashir lach shir atik noshan
Ashir lach zemer al shoshan
Hayo hayu lifney shanim
Shnei shoshanim shnei shoshanim
Haya ze kvar rachok hayom
Echad lavan sheni adom
Bnei gan echad kishnei achim
Tsimchu aleh tsimchu chochim
Et ba haboker, tsçhor gavan
Pakach einayim halavan
Ve'erev ba verad hayom
Atsam einayim ha'adom
Uvaleilot, uvaleilot
Nashvu ruchot bam kalilot
Kolivlevu ad ba'a yad
Yad shekatfa shoshan echad
Ve'ein yode'a ad hayom
Et halavan o'ha'adom
Verak yod'im ki hanotar
Libo nishbar libo nishbar
Hayo hayu lifney shanim
Shnei shoshanim shnei shoshanim
Haya ze kvar rachok hayom
Echad lavan sheni adom

I'll
sing you an ancient song,
I'll sing you a tune about a rose.
A song from way back when -
Two roses, two roses.
It was long ago -
one was white, the other red.
