Belev halailah sham'ati kol,
zeh kol achi al naharot bavel,
t'filah ilemet lo menuchemet
el Eretz Yisrael.
Mitoch ha'elem alah kolo
lo se'arah haytah bo ve'lo esh
rak balalaikah bedami halailah
vekol adam lochesh:
Balalaikah, balalaikah,
ho, shiri li im eshkachech Yerushalaim,
Balalaikah, balalaikah,
od yishama shiri be'eretz Yisrael.
Balalaikah, balalaikah,
od yishama shiri be'eretz Yisrael.
Belev halailah lachashti lo:
et t'filatcha sham'ati min habechi,
ani shoma'at, ani yoda'at,
achi, atah achi.
Belev halailah odo nogen,
aval im boker ye'alem kolo,
az ekachno ve'esano
al ha'olam kulo.
Balalaikah, balalaikah...
