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. 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
