Song Text

In a kleyn shtetl, nit vayt fun a veldl,
Pashet Maryashe a stade in feldl:
Un zi zingt [un (recording damaged)] zi veynt:
||: Vu zaynen mayne groyse oksn, Zogt es mir! :||

Velvl iz durkh dem feld adurkh gegangen,
Hot er gehert Maryashes gezangen:
Meydale, vos iz dir?
||: Tsu feln dir dayne groyse oksn? Zog es mir! :||

Az du voltst mayne oksn gefunen,
Voltstu fun mir a kush bakumen!
Nit nor eyn, afile nit nor tsvey
||: Nor nayn-un-nayntsik (99) kushn, keseyder eyns nokh eyns. :||

Velvl hot gevolt zayn loyn fardinen,
Iz er gegangen di oksn gefinen.
Meydale, fardint mayn loyn:
||: Host tsugezogt a kush gebn – gib es shoyn! :||

Az mayn mame volt oyfn shvel dort nit geshtanen,
Iz ba mir kayn lign nit faranen.
Meydele, shakrente!
Host tsugezogt un nit gegebn – meydele!
Host tsugezogt un nit gegebn – nit-nitke!
