♬ Lyrics

Ken, ken, ze shuv mitnagen
Zemer shir yashan noshan
Shenichtav mechadash bishvilcha
Ashir oto lecha
Veshuv onim kinorot
Af ani kmo meitar
Sheno'ad lemangina achat
Hamangina shelcha
Yashiru hashamaim
Ahava hi shir lishnaim
Ha'olam kulo tsochek elai veshar
Kama tov, kama tov
Yashiru hashamaim
Ahava hi shir lishnaim
Ki shiri hu hashir shelcha
Ken, ken, ze shuv mitnagen
Zemer shir yashan noshan
Shehayom po bishnaim nashir
Bishnaim nashir
Ki hashir lo nigmar
Tamid hu yushar

Ha'olam kulo tsochek elai veshar
Kama tov, kama tov
(Yashiru hashamaim)
Ze ole veholem
Kmo tupim shebalev
(Ahava hi shir lishnaim)
Im hazemer haze
Ha'olam kulo tsochek elai veshar
Kama tov, kama tov
Yashiru hashamaim
Ahava hi shir lishnaim
Ki shircha hu hаshir ѕheli
