Transliteration:

Lailah lailah, mistakelet halevanah

Baprachim asher henetsu bagina

Bepirchei hayakineton

beganeinu hakaton

Lailah lailah, mistakelet halevanah


Ve'omeret halvanah laananim, ananim

Tnu tipa ve'od tiponet laganim

She'ifrach hayakineton

Beganeinu hakaton

Lailah lailah, mistakelet halevanah


Lailah lailah, mistakelet halevanah

Al kol haprachim hayafim hamaksimim shegadlu

Kach laylah beginatah

Beinehem hayakineton

Beganeinu hakaton

Lailah lailah, mistakelet halevanah


Ba hageshem vetiftef (tiftiftif) bechaloni

Vehifriach kol haprachim hamaksimim sheshatalti shanah she'avrah begani

Amarti geshem bo, bo, tafriach li et haginah bevakasha...

Bevegim et hayakineton

Besimchah ubesason

Lailah lailah, mistakelet halevanah


Amarti: "Gili, tir'eh eizeh yofi!

Higa'anu lesof hataklit vehayah tov, tov beyachad"

Az nagid lachem todah im hamon ahava

Kach omeret halvana le'atsmah

Lailah, lailah tov



Translation:


Night-time, night-time, 

The moon is looking 

At our little garden below 


The blossoming hyacinth 

In our garden abounds 

Night-time, 

The moon is looking down 


And the moon turns to the clouds and says: 

Give a little drop of water to the flower beds! 

So the hyacinth can bloom 

In our garden, 'neath the moon 

Night-time 

The moon is looking down 


The drops came down, pattered on my pane, 

Quenched the thirst of all the flowers 

Longing for the rain 

Now the hyacinth can grow 

Lovely flowers it will show, 

Night-time 

The moon is looking down 


Good night
