תם ולא נשלם [Tam Velo Nishlam] [Transliteration]

Tam velo nishlam

Nekhtam od perek ba'olam

Ani emtsa li or katan

Ani emtsa tikva k'tana ba'afela shebekhayayi

Lu rak yakholti

Az ulay asim et kol hake'asim,

Et kol hapakhad, hashkarim shebekhayayi

Tam velo nishlam

Tamid eheye oto adam

Hamekhapes kemo kulam

Lihiyot od mashehu ba'olam

Hamenukar vehapoge'a,

Ze shero'e, ze sheshome'a

Hametsi'ut ha'aguma, kmo ahava shene'elma...

Az ani bore'akh venose'a elayikh

Vekol khalom hu kmo nitsots be'eynayikh

Ani nose'a veyode'a-

Eyn makom akher.

Uk'mo ekhad shemenase,

Lihiyot od mashehu ba'olam haze...

Ani otser, ani tsore'akh

Mi hayore? Mi harotse'akh?

Mi shedaras vene'elam?

Mi mit'orer u'mi nirdam?

Mi hara'ev? Mi hasave'a?

Mi shemak'shiv, mi sheyode'a,

Heykhan haderekh mat'khila?

Beyn kvish mahir o minhara?

Az ani bore'akh venose'a elayikh...
