Hayo hayu kan pa'am shikmim,
cholot misaviv vegam nof.
Ha'ir Tel Aviv shel otam hayamim
haytah bayit boded al hachof.
Veyesh lif'amim ne'erchu yeshivot
mitachat shikmim az batzel,
uleyad ha'etzim tzachaku habanot
ve'anu bezimrah: "hey yalel"
Ken, zehu, ken, zehu
zeh gan hashikmim
hayu gam ka'eleh
ei az bayamim.
(x2)
Gid'lah Tel Aviv mis'vivah parvarim
hakol bah tuch'nan veniv'dak.
Niv'nu bah k'vishim, nish'kachu hashikmim
vehil'bin az rosham me'avak.
Hakol kan niv'nah bekitz'vo shel hador -
chanuyot uvatei shechakim,
ach (ve)rak im naf'neh mabateinu achrov,
nizacher beshikmim yerukim.
Ken, zehu...
Hayom hashikmim ne'elmu ve'einam -
rak shelet et sh'mad od maz'kir,
kamah tziporim vesaf'sal meyutam
nitzav belibah shel ha'ir.
Umoshech hu elav, ksheha'erev yored
(venosh'rim min ha'etz he'alim)
ve'olim bamarom kochavim,
kab'tzan min harechov o helech boded
o zug tze'irim ohavim.
Ken, zehu.
