L'raglav shel hahar, l'chofo shel nahar Hi yashva l'vada - Hateid u ma soda? HaYarden az shatak, HaChermon shuv tzachak Rak sipra hashtika ki hi lo m'chaka
Az rachash Yarden b'chalal od nishma V'rachash bichya shel yalda asher shma -
Kach cholfot hasha'ot V'ovrot hashki'ot V'chol erev atzuv az korei la lashuv Aval hi po teshev V'haruach noshev Yam d'ma'ot az yishtof mil'chayeha el hachof.
Az rachash Yarden b'chalal od nishma V'rachash bichya shel yalda asher shma -
Kineret, Kineret, Kineret....
L'oro shel hayom Lo ra'inu pit'om Et d'muta mul hahar, l'chofo shel nahar Mul Yarden v'galav Mul Chermon ushlagav Rak bichya od notar Aval hu lo chazar
Az rachash Yarden saviv od nishma Al yam had'ma'ot shekar'u lo bishma -

The rustle of the Jordan was still heard in the air And the soft sound of weeping, of the girl whose name is...
Kineret, Kineret, Kineret......
In the light of day We suddenly did not see her figure Opposite the mountain, on the bank of the river Facing the Jordan and its waves Facing (Mt.) Chermon and its snows Only her weeping remained But he did not return
Then the rustle of the Jordan was still heard all around On the sea of tears that is called by her name -
