Ima, ima

Amok amok, rachok rachok
odech omedet mul einai
im hachiyuch vehamabat,
uvetochi libi nitzbat.

Ima, ima, at sham lemalah
odech bocha, odech doma'at.
Odech yoshevet, ne'etzevet,
al hapreidah beterem et.

Gadalti kvar, eineni yeled
ach lo avosh ve'etvadah
uchsheko'ev, zichrech oleh
uchmo tinok ani boche.

Zocher chiyuch, zocher mabat,
uvetochi libi nitzbat. Ima!

Haim at sham, yoda'at ima
ki anafaich hem rabim
sho'alim tamid madu'a
eichah yavshu hashorashim?

Ima, ima...

Veshuv ani balev nishbar,
shav lesaper kol she'avar
alit k'dusha, el ham'romim
umal'achim otach shom'im
zocher chiyuch, zocher mabat
uvetochi libi nitzbat.
