(Hebrew)
Mime'amakim kar'ati elaich boi elai

lo gamur,
lo ozev t'aamaga beyadaich
sheyavo veya'ir lemish'ma

Mime'amakim kar'ati elaich boi elai
mul yare'ach me'ir et darkech shuv elai
nifrasu venamsu mul
maga shel yadaich

Mi zeh kore lach halailah - hakshivi
mi shar bakol elaich - el chalonech

Mi yiten chayav, yasimam mitachtaich
mi ka'afar leraglaich yichyeh

mi mikol ru'ach ra'ah yatzilech
mime'amakim.
[Who is it that calls to you tonight, listen
Who sings aloud under your window
Who stakes his soul just for you to be happy
Who'll lend his hand to build you a home
Who'll lay his life down under your footsteps
Who like the earth at your feet shall live on
Who'll love you better than all of your lovers
Who'll save you from the rage of the storm
Out of the depths]
