Sovev Sovev lo shiri haboded
sovev sovev lo shiri
ashir im haruach erkod im hatzel
bodedet miboker ad leil

matai techdal bdiduti lichov
matai echdal lidog
matai shuv abit besimcha batevel
tzocheket laboker laleil

roked roked lo olam meushar
roked roked lo olam
kulam bemachol yatzu kvar mizman
kulam gadol ad katon

matai techdal bdiduti lichov
matai echdal lidog
matai shuv abit besimcha batevel
tzocheket laboker laleil

omar omar el libi ein davar
omar omar el halev
smach lev ki yesh machol gam machar
veyesh cosit shel sheychar

ki lo techdal bdiduti lichov
ki lo echdal lidog
ad im shuv emtza et darki sheavda
elecha yakir zot eda
ki lo techdal bdiduti michov
ki lo echdal lidog

ad im shuv emtza et darki she avda
elecha yakir zot eda

Many thanks to Meir Cohen for providing the song and for writing the lyrics by ear!
