Zug mir, mame-she, ikh bet dikh:
Iz dus emes, vos es hot
Mir dertseylt der zeyde?
Az in himl, dort far G’t,
Az far G’t, dort shteyt a bekher
Ven mir kveln zikh do shver,
Hot der groyser G’t rakhmunes:
Lozt in kos arayn a trer?
Emes, kind mayns. Zug nokh, mame,
Iz oykh emes, iz oykh zikher,
Az moshiakh, der vet kumen
Koym’s vet vern ful der bekher?
Emes. Un dos kind farklert zikh,
Vart a vayl. Troyrik shtil,
Fregt dernokh: Ven zhe mame,
Vet der bekher zayn shoyn ful?
Un er hoybt di bloye oygn
Troyerik tsu der muter oyf:
Tsu iz on a dek der bekher
Vos mir laydn on a sof?
Vi lang mir laydn shoyn in goles,
Un er vil shoyn ful nit vern!
Efsher trikenen durkh di yorn
In dem bekher oys di trern…
Un tserudert blaybt di muter
Ibern frumen kind geboygn
Un es tsitern di breymen
Fun der muters faykhte oygn
Faln trern tsvey brilyantn
Oyfn kinds farklertn shtern.
G’t in himl, hob rakhmones!
Nem in kos arayn di trern!
Hob rakhmones! Hob rakhmones…
Nem in kos arayn di trern…
