Hachaverim hayeshanim sheli

ha-chaverim ha-yeshanim sheli, kulam oto davar
echad nihya gibor gadol ve-ha-sheni nigmar
od kamah acherim nas'u rachok bishvil lachzor
ha-asiri hahu shepa'am hish'arti meachor

ha-chaverim ha-yeshanim sheli, betoch ha-sefer ha-shachor
ve'et kulam ani ohev achshav

ve'et mi ze me'anyen, ne'ashen venedaber
al sport v'omanut od she-ha-laylah yigamer

ad she-ha-laylah yigamer, shurot shurot shel anashim
ba'chalomot sheli ovrim
ad she'ha-laylah yistayem ani aspik od ledaber
