Lo pa'am bakayitz (Katan hu Vedal hu)
(written by Rahel)
(Esther Ofarim, Israel Festival, Jerusalem 1992)
Rough English translation

Lo pa'am bakaitz
im redet hayom
leor hashkia hadoech
halachti elaich ve'et aruka
hikshavti lekol zimratech

katan hu vedal hu chadri
va'ani bo sharuy ariri
katan hu vedal hu chadri
vaani bo sharuy ariri

vechay bi hazecher
haze hanahor
hasheket haze veharoch
umetek ha'etzev asher zimratech
yada(a) al hanefesh linsoch

katan hu vedal hu chadri
va'ani bo sharuy ariri
katan hu vedal hu chadri
va'ani bo sharuy ariri

veyesh ki nidme li
im redet hayom
bishlot bi tugat dimdumim
adain kekedem koletet ozni
halachan hahu hatamim

katan hu vedal hu chadri
va'ani bo sharuy ariri
katan hu vedal hu chadri
va'ani bo sharuy ariri
