Lyrics: Leilot Bemasada / Yitzhak Lamdan
(transliterated from Hebrew to English)

Yeshnam leilot bemasada,
Leilot kvedim vechorshei ra’ah
Ke’ofot sh’chorim, kivdei kanaf hem
Yordim al hachoma.

Le’hachshich solelot hakrav,
Lisgor haderech lalochamim,
Ki yiplu refei yadayim
Veshemesh machar, lo yizkeru od.

Dim’ah, dim’ah kveda,
Dim’ah, dim’ah gdola,
Lo nir’ah, ba’avir tluya
Dvar ma yadu’ah veyar’ida
Uchmo even tipol mata.

Yeshnam leilot bemasada
