Rikud Lishnayim

Zeh hayah rikud lishnaim

al mirpeset mul hayam

tza'ad be'arba einaim

besignon yashan vetam

tza'ad be'arba einaim

besignon yashan vetam.

Yad chat katef choveket -

ha'acheret beyadcha,

me'eineicha lo chomeket

- tza'adi mul tza'adcha,

ha'olam hayah bore'ach

k'sherakadnu - le'ibud,

ve'afilu hayare'ach

- na beketzev harikud.

Zeh hayah rikud lishnaim...

Barikud hazeh shel pa'am,

i efshar hayah lir'ot,

ken hayah bo eizeh ta'am

- veratzon le'od ve'od

belibi ani zocheret

- eich besheket, behester,

li lachshta - "ein acheret,"

ve'aniti - "ein acher."

Zeh hayah rikud lishnaim...

Ach heichan hi hatiz'moret -

hap'santer hakinorot,

od me'at kvar sof ashmoret

- od me'at kivui orot,

me'aleinu hashamaim

- k'mo chupah shel kochavim,

ach heichan heichan hashnaim

- berikud ha'ohavim.

Zeh hayah rikud lishnaim...
