Transliteration:
Shalachta elai et hao'ach,
Lehaireni mishenah,
Limadta oto litsvoach,
Milot ahavah utchinah -
Aval ani lo avo, lo avo, lo avo !

Shilachta bi et reyach
Heatsot veet halvanah,
Tsivita al hayam leaneach
Bekol ahavah utchina -
Aval ani lo avo, lo avo, lo avo !

Nashku hagalim et raglai,
Et shulei simlati halvanah.
Bekolech amru li : "Boi elai"
Va'ani chazarti el beiti,

Sagarti et dalti,
Bekol ahavah utchinah.
Chaloni mugaf,
Libi yashen, ani yeshenah.

Translation:
You sent the owl to me
To shatter my repose
You taught him well to
Cry out words of love in pleading prose
But I will not come
I will not,
I will not
You've plagued me with the bitter scent of
Seaweed and the moon
You've made the ocean heave and sigh
In a lovers swoon
But I will not come
I will not,
I will not

The waves have kissed my feet
The hem of my snowy-white dress
In your voice they said to me
Come with a lover's caress

But I returned unto my rooms
Closed the door
Shut the window tight
My heart is asleep
I am asleep
