הראשונה [Harishona] [Transliteration]

At hayit harishona she’eleha hayiti mitkasher

kshekara li mashehu matzchik o atzuv o acher

at hayit harishona she’eleha hayiti magia

lechabek oti chazak, lenashek o lehargia.

At hayit harishona kshechipasti li tshuvot

o kshebe’emtza yom pit’om higiu chadashot tovot

Vehemast etzli chomot venatat lehitkarev

aval hayit harishona shegam shavra li et halev

shetila etzli banefesh, shenitzcha et higayon

vetihi harishona ad hayom ha’acharon

At hayit harishona she’eleha hayiti ratz

kshehakaftor shel hadma’ot ezli pit’om haya nilchatz

at hayit harishona shemula ani bachiti

ksheha’alti et atzmi ech ze she’ani zachiti

At hayit harishona kshechipasti li tshuvot

o kshebe’emtza yom pit’om higiu chadashot tovot

Vehayit harishona lehar’ot li et haderech

lehagid li ma nachon

lehazkir li she’ani etzlech rishon
