An emese eyshes khayil,
Oy, oy, an emese eyshes khayil,
A tayere, kayn trayere fin ir iz nito!

A goldene neshume,
Oy, oy, a nakhes, a nekhume,
A libe froy, a gite mamenyu…

Aza fayne froy vi zi –
Brengt in hoyz nor harmoni…
S’leybn iz a simfoni !

Eyshes! Khayil!
(…?)


An emese eyshes khayil,
Oy, oy, an emese eyshes khayil,
A tayere, kayn trayere fin ir iz nito!

Oy, oy, a nakhes, a nekhume,
A libe froy, a gite mamenyu…
