Lif'amim ani nugeh ve'az ani niz'kar
bayamim bahem tamid hayiti me'ushar
begil esrim hakol hayah k'mo seret,
hayiti az chayal, hayu li chalomot
chashavti shemazal she'ein od milchamot
aval hayah mi shechashav acheret

Sh'nat shmonim ve'achat
hat'mimut, hazichronot vekol mah shehayah,
sh'nat shmonim ve'achat
bli pirsomot uvli kochav nolad lerega
haytah tikvah...

Lechol echad shanah achat she'hu zocher
milah haytah milah, chaver hayah chaver
tamid na'im lehizacher lerega,
minekudat mabat shel hachaim hayom
bish'nat shmonim ve'achat hayah al mah lach'lom
hayom efshar pashut lehishtage'a

Sh'nat shmonim ve'achat...
