Kvar shanim ani choshev she'ein kmo ima
zo shenatnah li et chayay.
Basimchah uvake'ev amrah "kadimah"
chizkah oti mine'urai.
Vezeh yoshev etzli balev
ki otah ani ohev kol chayay
bishvilah ani mushlam
hakochav shel ha'olam mine'urai.
Ima, bizmanim kashim et hake'ev hifnimah
bechiyuch kovesh hi et kulam hiksimah
et hanefesh hi koveshet mibifnim.
Ima, machshavot olot umitchazkot bi pnimah
et hachalomot sheli tamid higshimah
et hanefesh hi koveshet mibifnim.
Kvar shanim ani choshev she'ein kmo ima
zo shebishlah li mat'amim
k'shekashlu raglai oti tamid hekimah
chizkah oti kol hashanim.
