Elohai Elohai ho Elohai, Ad Matai?
Dakah dumiyah lo taspik leshishah milion
Af pa′am lo nuchal lik'lot et godel ha′ason
Hayah lo chazon sofi hapitaron
Kulam holchim lishon, vezeh hayom ha'acharon
Echad ve'od echad am shalem kim′at nik′chad
She'afilu ha′amitz beyoter lo sarad
Af echad lo benadam, kol echad nihyah mispar
She'omed betor aroch lo lir′ot et hamachar
Kol cach harbe bechi ve'afilu lo dim′ah
Kol cach harbe sof vezo bechlal hahatchala
Hamon tfilot, tze'akot, velo shom'im tz′lil
Ve′eich hamashiach lo ba kvar lehatzil?
Matarot na'ot bemit′vacho shel hasatan
I efshar lehit'chabe velivroach ein le′an
Temperatura mit'chamemet venidbeket laraglaim
Afar le′afar haneshamot lashamaim
Harakavot el hamavet masechet hashkarim
Chasrei onim od ne'evakim al hachaim
Nir'tzechu, nish′dedu, da′achu nishmoteihem
Husperu shu'evdu lo nish′kach et shmoteihem
Mardu et hacherut, ach nish'ara od hatikva
Hanefesh homiya, ha′ayin tzofia
Tevach lelo siba
Yam shel korbanot
T'lai tzahov al hachultza
Umi shalach lalehavot
Eich efshar liktof leyeladim t′achalomot
Bizman shechot'fim lemevugarim t'azichronot?
Ma asiti col cach ra she′ein shum mechila?
Tamid amarti "Amen" achrei kol t′filah
Achshav ratzot barosh machshavot al lifrosh
Tagidu eich ibadnu kol tzelem enosh
Targishu ma avar alenu bashoa,
Shishim shana vezeh od charut baneshama
Tze'akah amukah nitka′at bagaron
Shisha milion! Nich'retu bezikaron
Ma hata′ut, sheyatzrah antishemiut
Mi natan le'adam reshut lehash′mid tarbut?
Mehamagen David nish'ar sarid
Ani et sheli, bachaim lo morid
Sheyas'bir ba′atid
Lo lachzor al ta′uyot
Veyaz'kir lehash′ir et ha'einaim p′tuchot
Velil'mod lo lihyot teref betoch hamatzor
Lo od lir′od lefached la'amod
Lichyot bekavod, velamut bekavod
Hakod legan eden hu lis'rod
Hashemesh tizrach vehashemesh titz′lol
Hageshem yavo veyish′tof et hakol
Hagalgal agol ze nachon
Lama im yesh chaim achrei hamavet,
Nechake lahem shama!
