Song Text

Ikh benk nokh Besarabye:
Vayl es iz mir dort gevezn git…
Ikh benk nokh Besarabye –
Mayn sheyne heym fargesn kon ikh nit.


Shpatsirn geyt men dort bam Dnyestr,
Freylekh iz gevezn iberal.
A yontef iz dort geveyn di greste,
Ven men flegt esn broyt mit katshkeval.


Ikh benk nokh Besarabye:
Vayl es iz mir dort gevezn git.
Ikh benk nokh Besarabye –
Mayn sheyne heym fargesn kon ikh nit.


Vu ikh bin nokh nit geveyn,
Hob ikh shtendik nor gezeyn
Heym, dos tayere, du mayn!
London, New York hobn nit dayn kheyn
Ver es iz ba dir … (?) sheyn
Tif bisti in hartsn mir arayn!


Ikh benk nokh Besarabye:
Vayl es iz mir dort gevezn git.
Ikh benk nokh Besarabye –
Mayn sheyne heym fargesn kon ikh nit.


Shpatsirn fleyg men dort bam Dnyester,
Freylekh iz gevezn iberal.
A yontef iz dort geveyn di greste,
Ven men flegt esn broyt mit katshkeval.


Ikh benk nokh Besarabye:
Vayl es iz mir dort gevezn git.
Ikh benk nokh / vil keyn? Besarabye –
Mayn sheyne heym fargesn kon ikh nit.


Shpatsirn fleyg men dort bam Dnyester,
Freylekh iz gevezn iberal.
A yontef iz dort geveyn di greste,
Ven men flegt esn broyt mit katshkeval.


Ikh benk nokh Besarabye,
Mayn sheyne heym… vus… dort geveyn…(?)
Ikh benk nokh Besarabye,
Oy – s’iz shoyn nisht mer vus es iz geven!
