Bay mayn rebn iz geveyzn,
Iz gevezn – a ganeyve:


Zibn hemder vi di bekher:
Dray mit lates, fir mit lekher.


Oy! A ganeyve…


Bay mayn rebn iz geveyzn,
Iz gevezn – a ganeyve:


Zibn laykhter vi di bern,
dray on fis un fir on rern…


Oy! A ganeyve…


Bay mayn rebn iz geveyzn,
Iz gevezn – a ganeyve:


Zibn hener vi di tsigl:
Drayn on shnablen, fir on fligl.


Oy! A ganeyve…


Bay mayn rebn iz geveyzn,
Iz gevezn – a ganeyve:


Zibn tokhter vi di sosnes:
Dray on tseyn un fir on yasles…


Oy! A ganeyve…
