Al Hachof Besaloniki

Eifo emtza od ahavah k'mo shehaytah li
lifnei shanah k'shehayiti beYavan
bamesibah she'al hachof hi sham chiktah li
mitoc hachoshech hi hofi'ah belavan

Hi rak rakdah k'mo nesichah
litz'lilei habaglemah.
Ani amarti lah rikdi rak al tafsiki!
Ve'az nischafti k'mo shikor,
ad k'lot haneshimah,
kol halailah al hachof beSaloniki...

K'shehitavrarti lo ra'iti et paneiha
hi ne'elmah ve'lo hish'irah li siman
me'az ani kol haleilot cholem aleiha
ve'al halailah she'ahavnu beYavan.
