Song Text

Vus mir a dokter, in vus indzhenyer
– a klal-tier beser, ikh zug aykh, ikh shver
Hob nisht kayn voyning, got zay tsu dank
Farzikhert bin ikh shoyn oyf lang!

Kh’arbet nit shver, s’geyt mir nit shlekht
Di, yingl, her, un ir, meydlekh, hert:
Parnuse iz gut? / bu?, un burekh ha-shem
Abi nor es lozt zikh …? ponem/fonem/tsu nem?

A klal-tier bin ikh gevorn haynt,
A soykher bin ikh geveyzn amul
Dem emes gezugt, iz: gelt hob ikh nisht faynt
?? In amkhuts / amkho vi ir shrayt in kol / khor ???

Moyshe! Akh, Moyshe!
Geratevet yidn fin hinger in kelt
Moyshe, akh Moyshe:
Un dir geyt dokh inter di velt!

Dvoshe (?), mayn vaybl, a tayer zis kind:
Zi helft mir in arbet gants flaysik atsind
Aleyn iz zi fifik, in ir …?
Iz take … ? (ekzot?? Exot?)

Mayn bobe fun khevre-kedishe in ort
Vi a por yidelekh, dort hob ikh dos vort
Kh’ bin oykh shoyn prezes, kehile …. (?)
Farrayst take Dvoshe di nuz

A klal-tier bin ikh gevorn haynt,
A soykher bin ikh geveyzn amul
Dem emes gezugt, iz: gelt hob ikh nisht faynt
?? In amkhuts / amkho vi ir shrayt in kol / khor ???

Moyshe! Akh, Moyshe!
Geratevet yidn fin hinger in kelt
Moyshe, akh Moyshe:
Un dir geyt dokh inter di velt!

A zamlung tsu makhn far ureme brider
Fun gelt un fun zakhn, bin ikh shoyn …du (v?)ider?
Keren Kayemet un Keren Hayesod
Me darf konen dreyen di rod!

Yidn hobn holt, ts’dukes tsu geybn,
Un ikh hob gevolt take ruik zikh leybn,
A klal-tier haynt, morgn a gvir –
…? dreyt zikh dus reydl …(khotsh? mir? shmir?)

A klal-tier bin ikh gevorn haynt,
A soykher bin ikh geveyzn amul
Dem emes gezugt, iz: gelt hob ikh nisht faynt
?? In amkhuts / amkho vi ir shrayt in kol / khor ???

Moyshe! Akh, Moyshe!
Geratevet yidn fin hinger in kelt
Moyshe, akh Moyshe:
Un dir geyt dokh inter di velt!
