Transliteration:

Tishmor al ha'olam yeled
yesh dvarim she'asur lir'ot
Tishmor al ha'olam yeled
im tir'eh, tafsik li'chyot

Gibor shel ha'olam yeled,
im chiyuch shel mala'chim
Tishmor al ha'olam yeled
ki anachnu kvar lo matzlichim

Watch over the world child,
There are forbidden things to see
Watch over the world child,
If you see, you'll stop being...

Hero of the world child,
With an angel's smile
Watch over the world child,
We do not succeed in it anymore...

Tishmor al ha'olam yeled
al tagzim be'machshavot
Ki kama she'teda yoter yeled
ata rak tavin pachot

u've'sha'a me'suyemet
nisgarot kol ha'dlatot
ve'chol ha'ahava nigmeret
rak ata mamshich li'chyot

Watch over the world child,
Don't think too much
The more you know, child,
The less you understand...

And at certain hours
All doors will slam shut
And all the love will end
Only you will remain, wondering.....
