A young man is standing and longing for And longing and longing the whole night Who to choose and not to offend Maiden, maiden tell me true What can grow, grow without the dew? What can burn for years and years? What can cry without shedding tears? Silly boy, I'll tell you true! A stone can grow without the dew. Love can burn for years and years, A heart can cry without shedding tears.

(Hebrew) Ma oseh oseh ha khalutz She huba huba lakibutz Ba lakibutz - rotze leechol Roeh bakhura, shokheakh hakol!
