Song Text

Zog nisht keynmol, az du geyst dem letstn veg
Himlen blayene farshteln bloye teg
Vayl kumen vet dokh undzer oysgebenkte sho –
S'vet a poyk ton undzer trot: mir zenen do!


Fun grinem palmenland biz land fun vaysn shney:
Mir kumen on mit undzer payn, mit undzer vey!
Un vu gefaln s'iz a shprits fun undzer blut:
Shprotsn vet dort undzer gvure, undzer mut!


S'vet di morgnzun bagildn undz dem haynt
Un der nekhtn vet farshvindn mitn faynt
Un oyb farzamen vet di zun un der kayor:
Vi a parol zol geyn dos lid fun dor tsu dor!


S’lid geshribn iz mit blut un nit mit blay,
S’iz nisht kayn lid fun a foygl oyf der fray
Dos hot a folk tsvishn falndike vent
Dos lid gezungen mit naganen in di hent!


Zug nisht keynmol, az du geyst dem letstn veg
Himlen blayene farshteln bloye teg
||: Vayl kumen vet dokh undzer oysgebenkte sho –
S' vet a poyk ton undzer trot: mir zenen do! :||
