Transliteration:

Lecha nishba'ati, E-l Ely-n, Velo eda ha'akayem: Eich a'amod banisayon Nisayon ha'osher hashalem. Eichah tachil eyni haor ? Yaday rafot, yaday hozot -- Eychah esa velo eshbor Simchah kazot, brachah kazot ? Mikoved ol eich lo epol, Eich lefaneicha etyatsev, Zkufah, gdolah, noset be'ol Shel osher enoshi shalev   I swore to you, oh L-rd But unsure of my ploy... How can I bear the burden Of a perfect joy? Can my eyes contain the light? I'm delirious and weak How to keep from shattering The happiness that all men seek? How can I keep my feet on board 'neath a weight as great as this? I want to stand up tall, oh L-rd And bear the yolk of perfect bliss
