Song Text

Her nor us, mayn tayer kind,
Ekh vel dir epes zugn:
Ekh vel dir gebn a shnayder-ying,
zolst mit im khasene hubn.


Neyn, mame, neyn, miter!
A shnayder-ying iz zeyer biter.
A shnayder-ying neyt mit der nudl
Er shlugt dus vayb a kuved-gudl…
Neyn, mame, neyn, miter!
A shnayder-ying iz zeyer biter.


Her nor us, mayn tayer kind,
Ekh vel dir epes zugn:
Ekh vel dir gebn a shister-ying,
zolst mit im khasene hubn.


Neyn, mame, neyn, miter!
A shister-ying iz zeyer biter.
Er tsit di dratve mit di tseyn
Un kikt of meydlekh mole-kheyn…
Neyn, mame, neyn, miter!
A shister-ying iz zeyer biter.


Her nor us, mayn tayer kind,
Ekh vel dir epes zugn:
Ekh vel dir gebn a beker-ying,
zolst mit im khasene hubn.


Neyn, mame, neyn, miter!

A beker-ying bakt broyt bay nakht
In zayn vaybl zitst aleyn in trakht...
Neyn, mame, neyn, miter!
A beker-ying iz zeyer biter.

Ekh vel dir epes zugn:
Ekh vel dir gebn a stolyer-ying,
zolst mit im khasene hubn.


Neyn, mame, neyn, miter!
A stolyer-ying iz zeyer biter.

Geyt tsu der khipe un trakht a get -

Her nor us, mayn tayer kind,
Ekh vel dir epes zugn:
Ekh vel dir gebn a klezmer-ying,
zolst mit im khasene hubn.


Yo, mame, yo, getraye!
A klezmer-ying iz a mekhaye!
A klezmer-ying shpilt ofn fidl
In zayn vaybl zingt a lidl…
Yo, mame, yo, getraye!
A klezmer-ying iz a mekhaye!
