(At) mevinah she'ani tzarah
et kol haterutzim sheli at makirah
(kitmei) s'faton muvan hem
ketem duvdevan halachti lechapes lach beramat hagolan
vehab'samim she'at merichah
nachon hem mei kolon
im nichochot ishah
(ki) kshe'ani ro'eh otach ani kuli aviv
az lamah lach bachur im reiach Tel Aviv?

Kshe'atah li meshaker
"(zeh) shum davar" atah omer
gam im ta'amta pri asur
halev shelcha rak li shamur
az ted'a achshav tori
vegam ani rotzah od pri
atah nifga, nich'nak, nofel
ani sovelet, atah sovel

Zeh nachon she'ani lo chozer habaytah
besha'ah s'virah rak me'acher
haytah li avodah, chayeinu lo kalim,
sha'ot metorafot shel ma'amad hapo'alim
nachon balailah ani kvar sagur
sibat ichur nishma'at k'mo sipur,
ani po'el masur, ani noten harbeh,
az mah shemesaprim lach zeh mamash lo zeh

Kshe'atah li meshaker...
