How to read the transliterations
Hebrew
טַלְלֵי אוֹרוֹת רֹאשׁוֹ נִמְלָא, קְוֻצּוֹתָיו רְסִיסֵי לָיְלָה.
יִתְפָּאֵר בִּי כִּי חָפֵץ בִּי, וְהוּא יִהְיֶה לִי לַעֲטֶרֶת צְבִי.
כֶּתֶם טָהוֹר פָּז דְּמוּת רֹאשׁוֹ,
וְחָק עַל מֵצַח כְּבוֹד שֵׁם קָדְשׁוֹ.
לְחֵן וּלְכָבוֹד צְבִי תִפְאָרָה, אֻמָּתוֹ לוֹ עִטְרָה עֲטָרָה.
מַחְלְפוֹת רֹאשׁוֹ כְּבִימֵי בְחוּרוֹת,
קְוֻצּוֹתָיו תַּלְתַּלִּים שְׁחוֹרוֹת.
נְוֵה הַצֶּדֶק צְבִי תִפְאַרְתּוֹ, יַעֲלֶה נָא עַל רֹאשׁ שִׂמְחָתוֹ.
סְגֻלָּתוֹ תְהִי בְיָדוֹ עֲטֶרֶת, וּצְנִיף מְלוּכָה צְבִי תִפְאֶרֶת.
עֲמוּסִים נְשָׂאָם עֲטֶרֶת עִנְדָם, מֵאֲשֶׁר יָקְרוּ בְעֵינָיו כִּבְּדָם.
פְּאֵרוֹ עָלַי פְּאֵרִי עָלָיו, וְקָרוֹב אֵלַי בְּקָרְאִי אֵלָיו.
צַח וְאָדוֹם לְבוּשׁוֹ אָדֹם, פּוּרָה בְדָרְכוֹ בְּבוֹאוֹ מֵאֱדוֹם.
קֶשֶׁר תְּפִלִּין הֶרְאָה לֶעָנָו, תְּמוּנַת יְהוָה לְנֶגֶד עֵינָיו.
רוֹצֶה בְּעַמּוֹ עֲנָוִים יְפָאֵר, יוֹשֵׁב תְּהִלּוֹת בָּם יִתְפָּאֵר.

tallei orot rosho nimla, k'vutzotav resisei laylah.
yitpa-er bi ki chafetz bi, vehu yihyeh li la-ateret tz'vi.
ketem tahor paz d'mut rosho,
vechak al metzach k'vod shem kodsho.
lechen ulechavod tz'vi tifarah, umato lo itrah atarah.
machlefot rosho k'vimei v'churot,
k'vutzotav taltalim sh'chorot.
neveh hatzedek tz'vi tifarto, ya-aleh na al rosh simchato.
s'gulato tehi v'yado ateret, utznif meluchah tz'vi tiferet.
amusim nesa-am ateret indam, me-asher yakru ve-einav kibdam.
pe-ero alai pe-eri alav, vekarov elai b'kare-i elav.
tzach ve-adom levusho adom, purah v'darecho bevo-o me-Edom.
kesher t'filin herah le-anav, t'munat Adonai leneged einav.
rotzeh be-amo anavim yefa-er, yoshev tehilot bam yitpa-er.
English
Your curls are full of drops of light, Your locks wet with the dew of the night. God will have pride in me, for God delights in me, and will be for me a crown of glory. The image of God’s face is pure shining gold, the forehead inscribed with the divine holy name. In love, in honor, to express the height of glory, this people fashioned God’s kingly crown. The locks on God’s head are a youth’s long black curls. May the abode of righteousness, the height of God’s glory, be God’s greatest delight. God’s treasured people shall be held as a garland in God’s hand, a royal wreath of beauty and glory, carried on high, adorned with a crown, honored with what is most precious in Divinity’s eyes. God’s splendor shall be mine and mine shall be God’s; for God is near to me as I cry out. God is radiant and ruddy, dressed in red, having come from Edom, treading the winepress. Humble Moses viewed the knot of God’s tefillin as he beheld God’s very image. God delights in this humble people and will raise them up in glory; God shall dwell amidst their praises, glorified through them.
