Amol iz geveyn a mayse:
Di mayse iz gornit freylekh.
Di mayse hoybt zikh on
Mit a yidishn meylekh.


Lulinke, mayn feygele,
Lulinke, mayn kind -
Kh’hob ongevoyrn aza libe
Vey iz mir un vind!


Amol iz geveyn a meylekh,
Der meylekh hot gehat a malke,
Di malke hot gehat a vayngurtn.
Lulinke, mayn kind…


In vayngurtn iz geveyn a boymele,
Dus boymele hot gehat a tsvaygele,
Inem tsvaygele iz geveyn a nestele,
Inem nestele hot geleybt a feygele.


Lulinke, mayn feygele,
Lulinke, mayn kind -
Kh’hob ongevoyrn aza libe
Vey iz mir un vind!


Der meylekh iz opgeshtorbn,
Di malke iz gevorn fardorbn,
Dus tsvaygele iz opgetroknt,
Dus feygele funem nest antlofn…


Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm…


Kh’hob ongevoyrn aza libe
Vey iz mir un vind!
