Im olah hashemesh uv'chol boker chadashah hi
im haprachim stam mechaychim el ha'olam
im mitgalgel hagal mitz'chok ad hashamaim
az lamaha gam anachnu lo nitz'chak im kulam?

Im yesh od karkasim veleitzanim ve'lo basefer
im tz'chok hayeladim nishma tzalul ve'lo rachok
tzochek hashuk, hayam,
hapa'amon shel beit hasefer
az lamah gam anachnu lo nilmad litz'chok?

Kedai, kedai lilmod min haprachim

kedai litz'chok ulechayech nasu rak pa'am
kedai litz'chok, kedai lichyot, kedai le'ehov.

Tzarich k'tzat lechayech, mutar lich'os
ach biz'hirut lo laharos
efshar lirkom chalom nifla beyom sagrir
efshar lach'lom ulekavot nasu rak pa'am
efshar litz'chok le'lo sibah, efshar gam lashir.

Ada holech ba'i, vehi shelo vehi zarah lo

Veshuv nosheket shemesh et ha'ir hame'ohevet
gal shovav vekal noshek lesel'a shuv veshuv
ha'or noshek letzel vehapasim et harakevet
rak anu shochachim mah
shekol kach kol kach chashuv.

Kedai, kedai lilmod...
