Can anyone post the lyrics of an Israeli song called “Piyus” by Theodore Bikel?

It comes from his second Israeli LP from the early 1960s, called “Theodore Bikel - A Harvest of Israeli Folk Songs.” I have searched the Internet for it without success, although the audio of the song can be found on YouTube.

Ideally I would like the lyrics in both Hebrew and transliteration, but either would be wonderful.

Thanks in advance!

Bikel's recording on YouTube.
The song is nowhere to be found whether you put the title and/or 1st line into Google in either Latin or Hebrew characters.

Tishmor alai mipanai
Tishmor oti amiti
Kol hatfilot, milim reikot
Shataknu dai, daber achshav

Ma ata rotse mimeni
Ma? Ma?
Mi bikesh mimcha lizrok bi neshama
Lama lo tavo elai batsaharayim
Techabek, tabit li ba'einayim

Hivtachta shetamid tihiye
Ha'or biktse hachashecha
Psanter bachol, kvar lo yachol
Nisiti dai, achshav torcha

Tagid li...
Ma ata rotse mimeni
Ma? Ma?
Mi bikesh mimcha lizrok bi neshama
Lama lo tavo elai batsaharayim
Techabek, tabit li ba'einayim

Rak tishmor alai mipanai
Tishmor oti amiti

Tagid li...
Ma ata rotse mimeni
Ma? Ma?
Mi bikesh mimcha lizrok bi neshama
Az lama lo tavo elai kvar bein arbayim
Techabek, tabit li ba'einayim
