Song Text
Vi ahin zol ikh geyn?
Ver ken entfern mir?
Vi ahin zol ikh geyn?
S’iz farshlosn yeyde tir –
Tsi of links, tsi of rekhts
Ot azoy in yeydn land.
Az vi ahin zol ikh geyn?
…?? shteyn…???
Tell me: where can I go?
There is no place I can see
Where to go, where to go?
Every door is closed for me.
To the left, to the right
It’s the same in every land –
There is nowhere to go
And it’s me who should know…
Would you please understand…?
Now I know where to go
Where my folk proudly stands
Let me go, let me go
In that treasured, promised land!
No more left, no more right
Lift you hand, see the light!
I am proud, can’t you see?
For that land, I am free!
No more wandering for me!
