Zeh katuv basfarim, bashirim,

Vehagoral tziv'u afel amok bifnim

Lehitraot, shalom, zeh lo nigmar, zeh rak hasof.(x2)
Mi yatza lish'at imunim baketzev shel tupim

ta'arich mitchalef, aval zman lo cholef,

kol mas'a matchil betza'ad im kivun vekavanah

Achshav ani levad daf chalak lavan ve'et bayad
memukad vekach hashir hazeh nolad.
Zeh katuv basfarim...
Zeh t'chilato shel hasof o rak sof hahatchalah,
