Ahava Ktzarah

Mah at menasah lomar,
lo echpat li mah,
me'uchar kol kach achshav
ve'ein kan ahavah.
Mabatim nifgashim,
ve'anachnu shnei zarim.

At hayit yafah kol kach
az bamesibah,
ba'einaich hashtuyot
hits'at li ahavah,
ha'orot amumim,
ve'anachnu kvar ozvim.

Ruach bas'derah,
at kan letsidi,
laylah ya'avor
beveitech o beveiti,
uvanegi'ah
yesh bah gam tikvah
she'at ha'achat shechipasti bedarki.

Aval ze sipur nosaf
shel ahavah ktsarah,
veha'esh sheba'arah
kim'at miyad kavtah.
Bli ke'ev, bli dma'ot,
kan dracheinu nifradot.

Shuv lama'agal
bo ani lachud,
ben lokeach bat
veroked itah rikud,
shuv mehatchalah
delet tipatach
uchshe'ekanes, leheichan ani nichnas?

Bli ke'ev, bli dma'ot
kan dracheinu nifradot. (x3)
