[Verse 1]

(Ehm-ham, ehm)

Tagidi lo muzar pit'om sheze nigmar

L'daber aleinu kacha b'l'shon avar

Kol shniya l'chasom ul'batel et hamispar

Kol shniya l'hitparek kmo tembel shenishbar

U'kama zman lakach lakh lehavin shelo

V'lo anala ashir al ze she'at shelo

Lo ratziti lehotsi otakh lo tov

Anala ratziti lehotsi otakh lo tov

[Chorus]

Aval hayiti haktzeh shelakh she'at tzricha

Shole'ach levavot b'sof shel hasicha

Hayit nofelet l'r'tzafa sheli mikol bdicha

Nis'anta al halev sheli b'kol zri'cha

Ve'ein matzav ani b'tzad haze shel hamita

Pashut hayiti mit'orer b'boker rak itakh

Ve'ein li plastrim la'od srita

Ve'ein li plastrim la'od srita

(Ehm-ham, ehm)

[Verse 2]

Tagidi lo ko'ev pit'om sheze halah

Kol shalet b'rehov haze mazkir otakh

Ha'ke'ev haze tofes oti kol nesi'a

B'yedi'a shehamerhak mimkha hu n'gi'a

U'kama zman lakach lakh lehagid hakol

Hayiti chosheket yam zman yam shel alkohol

Hayiti otzeret oti m'lifol

Hayiti otzeret oti m'lifol

[Chorus]

Aval hayiti haktzeh shelakh she'at tzricha

Shole'ach levavot b'sof shel hasicha

Hayit nofelet l'r'tzafa sheli mikol bdicha

Nis'anta al halev sheli b'kol zri'cha

Ve'ein matzav ani b'tzad haze shel hamita

Pashut hayiti mit'orer b'boker rak itakh

Ve'ein li plastrim la'od srita

Ve'ein li plastrim la'od srita

[Verse 3]

Ze kvar yoter midai sha'ot levad b'chadar haze

Ani hafakhti et hakav haze lo od machaze

Ani chayav l'hit'apes lachzor l'hiyot kaze

Shemakhin sharsh'arot m'tzlaḳot b'ḥazeh

Ve'hakol tov

Pashut m'rub levad anala zokher eikh l'ehov

Anala rotzeh ledaber lo rotzeh l'chazor

Anala rotzeh lehitka'a anala rotzeh lizkor

Aval ani v'rak ani

Aval hayiti haktzeh shelakh she'at tzricha

Shole'ach levavot b'sof shel hasicha

Hayit nofelet l'r'tzafa sheli mikol bdicha

Nis'anta al halev sheli b'kol zri'cha

Pashut hayiti mit'orer b'boker rak itakh
