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 zikh 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…


[Spoken]: Tayere kinder: hit op ayere mames: nit bloyz eynmol in yor zol zayn „mother’s day“, nor yeydn tug in yor darft ir opgebn kuved un tsaygn libshaft tsu ayere mames, vayl es iz nishtu oyf der velt kayn besere fraynd vi ayn mame, vos iz greyt optsugebn ir lebn far ir kind tsu yeyder tsayt!


Oy, vi gliklekh in raykh iz der mentsh, vus hot
Aza sheyne matune geshenkt fin G’t -
Aza altitshke yidishe mame!
Mame, mame mayn…
