Me'al hamisgadim ole yare'ach
Me'al betech olim orot neon
Veshuv sichey yasmen notnim po re'ach
Veshuv anachnu kan mul hasha'on
Veshuv yalda, bli "lama" u "madu'a"
Yadai bizro'otayich ochazot
Yesh mashe'hu muzar velo yadu'a
Yesh mashe'hu nifla ba'ir hazot
Hashchafim al hamezach kvar afu
Vehayam hishtatek venadam
Zohi Yafo, yalda, zohi Yafo
Shechoderet kmo yayin ladam
Kan melach ve'ashan utzlil gitara
Sakin shlufa umischakey shesh-besh
Kan mashe'hu shikor velo me'arak
Vecham, lo min hastekim al haesh
Ach shuv, yalda, bli "lama" u "madu'a"
Yadai kan bemotnayich ochazot
Yesh mashe'hu muzar velo yadu'a
Yesh mashe'hu nifla ba'ir hazot
