A matune fin dem himl hot indz G't geshikt:
A malekh far a mentsh hot zikh farshtelt
Oy, ver es hot nor/nokh (?) di matune, der iz shoyn baglikt
Di greste brukhe iz zi far der velt


Der mentsh miz zayn geboyrn, er vert fun ir gehit
In hot men zi farloyrn – keyn tsveyte krigt men nit


A mames harts iz reyn vi Burshtinen
A mames harts (? klur vi... ?)
A mames harts iz shver tse gefinen
A mame iz der eyntsiker fraynd


A mames harts iz G’ts grester vinder,
Zi vil far zikh aleyn keyn zakh nit
Zi iz zikh makriv far ire kinder
Zi nemt keyn mul gur nit, nor zi git


Ir leybn, ir shtreybn… - gegeybn…


A mames harts iz shver tsi gefinen
A mame iz der eyntsiker fraynd


Oy, dermont zikh kinder, hot ir shoyn fargesn?
Vifil nekht un shluf di mame iz ba ayer vigele gezesn

Vus veyst zi, vus farshteyt zi, di narishe, old-fashioned yidene
Tit dus nisht, kinder – shanevet a mames trer
Vayl af der gantser velt iz du nor eyn mame in nisht mer…


A mames harts iz shver tsu gefinen
A mame iz der eyntsiker fraynd
