Ba'ah m'nuchah layage'a
umargo'a le'amel.
Layla chiver mistare'a
al s'dot emek Yizr'el.
Tal milematah ul'vanah me'al,

Mah, mah layla mileil?
D'mamah beyizr'el.
Numah emek, eretz tif'eret
anu lecha mishmeret.

Yam hadagan mitnoe'a,
shir ha'eder metzal'tzel,
zohi artzi us'doteiha,
zehu emek Yizr'el.
Tevorach artzi vetehulal
mibeit alfa ad nahalal.

Mah, mah...

Ofel behar hagilbo'a,
sus doher mitzel el tzel.
Kol ze'akah af gavoha,
mis'dot emek Yizr'el.
Mi yarah umi zeh sham nafal
bein bein alfa venahalal?

Mah, mah...
