Bashalechet noshev kvar hastav
Ha’avak badrachim at shakat
V’hayom rak eilayich nisraf
V’cholem al p’gisha r’choka

Hen efshar ki od erev yavo
V’hasha’ar yachrok lo dumam
V’einayich yihiyu ko tovot
Kmo ein milchama ba’olam

Chorus:
Hen efshar, hen efshar
Sheyihiyeh zeh pashut, kvar machar
Hen efshar uva-jeep she’avar -
Sha’agu bachurim ki nigmar
Hen efshar, hen efshar,
Sheyihiyeh zeh pashut kvar machar

Hen efshar ki chadrech he’atzuv
M’chakeh b’chivron kirotav
V’korei hu lishneinu lashuv
Mikravot, midrachim umistav

Hen efshar ki pit’om nipagesh
B’mishlat, oh b’derech-afar
Hen efshar, bein ashan uvein eish -
Gam lachalom shehakol kvar nigmar

Chorus:
Hen efshar, hen efshar
