Song Text
Ir fregt mikh, vus ikh troyer,
Vos veyn ikh oyfn kol:
Tsvey fraynd hob ikh farlorn –
In beyde oyf eynmol.
Ekh ti, Vodka! Vodka gorkaya…
Oy, vey, s’iz biter - Tshort vazmi!
Der ershter iz mayn libste,
A meydl lib in fayn,
Vos hot mir oft geshvorn
Oyf eybik tray tsu zayn.
Ekh ti, Vodka! Vodka gorkaya…
Oy, vey, s’i’ biter - Tshort vazmi!
Der tsveyter iz mayn khaver,
Mayn bester, ziser fraynd -
Mit velkhn mayn getraye
Geyt tsu der khipe haynt.
Ekh ti, Vodka! Vodka gorkaya…
Oy, vey, si biter - Tshort vazmi!
Nit fregt mikh, vos ikh troyer,
Vos veyn ikh oyfn kol!
Tsvey fraynd hob ikh farlorn
In beyde mit eyn mol…
Ekh ti, Vodka! Vodka gorkaya…
Vey, s’i’ biter - Tshort vazmi!
