ימי בנימינה [Yamei Benjamina] [Transliteration]

Mah karah la’yeled

Sheh diber el kochavim

Sheh himtik sodot im savyonim u’shchafim

Sheh safar kol nemesh cheresh u’va’chol nirdam

Mah karah lo, yom echad, sheh kam ve’neelam?

Ani rotseh lachzor

el ha’yamim hachi yafim sheli

Ha’yamim ha’yechefim shel Binyamina, ken,

ani zocher hakol zaram leat,

ha’shemesh lo miher

Anashim amru shalom,

chaver haya chaver.

Ha’yoreh yered machar, habet ba’levanah

Eich hayah yavul ha’anavim ha’shanah?

Tikansu ha’erev, yesh ribah me’tut ginah,

U’va’layla titkasu ki tihiyeh tsinah

Ani rotseh…

Ve’achshav, im yom o leil, im rah li ve’im tov

Ein li rega zman lashevet ve’lachasov

Lifamim ani kim’at me’daati yotseh

Kol yamai ani holech le’sham ve’lo motseh.

Ani rotseh…

Mah karah la’yeled she’nirdam ba’chol ha’cham

She yom echad, lefetah, kam ve’neelam?
