Song Text

Mayn kind, mayn trayst,
Di furst avek – to zay a zin, a giter!
Dikh beyt mit treyrn in mit shrek:
Dayn traye libe muter.


Di furst avek, mayn eynineyntsik kind!
Ariber vayte yamim
Kim-zhe dort ahin frish in gezint
In nisht farges dayn mamen!


Fur gezint in kim mit glik,
In yeyde vokh a brivele shik
Dayn mames harts,
Mayn kind derkvik


A brivele der mamen
Zolsti nisht farzamen!
Yo, shrayb geshvind, mayn lib kind,
Shenk ir di nekhume!


Di mame vet dayn brivele leyzn,
In zi vet geneyzn -
To shrayb geshvind, mayn lib kind,
Derkvik ir di neshume!


To, shrayb geshvind, mayn lib kind,
Shenk ir di nekhume!


Di mame vet dayn brivele leyzn,
In zi vet geneyzn -
To shrayb geshvind, mayn lib kind,
Derkvik ir di neshume!
