A yidishe mame -
Es iz nisht kayn besers oyf der velt.
A yidishe mame:
Oy, vi biter, ven zi felt!
Vi sheyn in likhtik iz in hoyz,
Ven di mame iz du;
Vi troy’rik, fintster vert,
Ven G’t nemt ir oyf oylom-habu.
In vaser, in fayer
Volt zi gelofn far ir kind -
Nit haltn zi tayer,
Dus iz gevis di greste zind!
Oy, vi gliklekh in raykh iz der mentsh, vus hot
Aza sheyne matune geshenkt fin G’t -
Aza altitshke yidishe mame!
Mame, mame mayn…
