Lyrics: Havatzelet Hasharon / Shmuel Huppert
(transliterated from Hebrew to English)

Ahavat sharon – al’alim ra’ananim
Zer zahav, sod mabat… chen.
Na’ara taron – siftote’ha shoshanim
Na’ari – na’ari… ken.

Refrain:
Chavatzelet Hasharon – shoshanat ha’amakim
At yafati velibech sheli
Chavatzelet Hasharon – shoshanat ha’amakim
Hen na’ari kol libi shelcha
Shoshanat ha’amakim – chavatzelet Hasharon
Bepardes kol lev uchad – chiba.
Shoshanat ha’amakim – chavatzelet Hasharon
Tzemed chemed, yad beyad ahava.

Ahavat sharon – tslilim ona beron
Shir oleh, lev oneh, tslil.
Ahavat sharon – elem ve’alma sharim
Yad beyad, lev echad… gil.
