Az der Rebi Eylimeylekh iz gevorn zeyer freylekh,
Iz gevorn zeyer freylekh – Elimeylakh!
Hot er oysgetun di tfiln,
Un hot ongeton di briln,
Un geshikt nokh di fidler, di tsvey.


Un di fidldike fidler hobn fidldik gefidlt,
Un gefidlt un gefidlt hobn zey!
Un di fidldike fidlers hobn fidldik gefidlt,
Un gefidlt un gefidlt ot azoy!


Un az der Rebi Elimelekh iz gevorn zeyer freylekh,
Iz gevorn zeyer freylekh – Elimeylakh!
Hot er oysgeton dem kitl, un hot ongeton dos hitl,
Un hot geshikt nokh di tsimbler di tsvey.


Un di tsimbldike tsimbler hobn tsimbldik getsimblt,
Un getsimblt un getsimblt hobn zey!
Un di tsimbldike tsimbler hobn tsimbldik getsimblt,
Un getsimblt un getsimblt, ot azoy!


Un az der Rebi Elimelekh iz gevorn take freylekh,
Iz gevorn take freylekh, Elimelekh:
Hot er opgemakht havdole
Un der shames Reb Naftole
Iz gelofn nokh di paykler, di tsvey:


Un di paykldike paykler hobn paykldik gepayklt,
Un gepayklt un gepayklt – ot azoy!
Un di paykldike paykler hobn paykldik gepayklt,
Un gepayklt un gepayklt – ot azoy!


Un ven di fidldike fidler un di tsimbldike tsimbler un di paykldike paykler payklen nokh –
Blaybt der Rebi Elimeylekh,
Nebekh, gor nit azoy freylekh,
Un shrayt oys: „Oy, mayn kop, oy, mayn kop!“
