Af pa'am bechayay od lo hirgashti kmo achshav
zeh goral she ish me'ohav
mar li ve'atzuv ratziti shetashuv
vehi halchah ve'lo amrah le'an
heshkiti vetipatli bah kol reg'a mechayay
nish'arti et marlen sheli bishtei kapot yadai.
Marlen sheli marlen, im rak tagidi ken
marlen sheli marlen, et kol chaya eten.
Amadti leilot ve'af yamim mul chalonah
vesharti serenadah atzuvah
shalachti lah prachim ve'elef chiyuchim
katavti lah milim shel ahavah
heshkiti vetipalti bah gad'lah kvar lo yaldah
amra shalom vehistalkah le'an ish lo yada.
Marlen sheli...
Balailah kar vegam ratuv amadti mul beitah
raiti ish oleh bamadregot
pit'om kavah ha'or ra'adti mikor
gam le'ish gadol mutar livkot
amru li chaveri azov marlen lo bishvilcha
vechamah shetirdof hi tamid bivrach lecha.
