Karnaval, ba"nachal", karnaval

Hamafalim hamaktsifim

Zorem hashetef ha'eitan

behilulah achat gdolah.

Chorus.

Go'eh hanachal veshotef

ladug dagim bebardawil.

Chorus

Oleh hanachal al gdotav

Az bou gam atem kulchem
lishtof me'at et nishmatchem
liglosh me'oz min heharim
lihyot kamonu shikorim.
