Zeh lo hageshem shezoleg mitoch einai
zo lo [bad word] ach shenoshevet al panai
ani niz'keret eich halachta acharai
ve'eich hayom atah yotze mitoch chayai

Ani shoka'at lenafshi ein od motza
eini yoda'at im tashuv bechazarah
ani pochedet me'atzmi ani modah
od me'at ani nish'beret uvochah

Pizmon:
Zehu sipur kazeh machur,
yacholta lihyot yoter [bad word] ani adam k'mo kulam,
achat mibein kol ha'olam.
Zeh lo over, zeh od chozer,
hafachta lihyot adam acher
kazeh galui ve'lo tzafui,
bemah zeh kvar achshav talui

Ani cholemet bemakom bo hatikvah
oti zovet motzi'ah oti mimcha
lo mitzta'eret im ani achshav bochah
hadma'ot sheli yardu gam bishvilcha
