Song Text
Dort bam taykhl, nit vayt fun dem shtetl
Pashet di gendzelekh
A meydele, gor sheyn:
Di oyglakh glantsn,
Oyf lipelakh a shmeykhl
Zingt zi a lidl
Oyf aheym tsu geyn.
||: Hay-la, hay-la, hay-la, hay-la –
Loyft-zhe, gendzelakh, aheym, aheym, aheym! :||
Der alter goner,
Er meg afile platsn,
Vel ikh im nit nemen –
Neyn, un neyn, un neyn!
Vus toygn mir zayne raykhe palatsn,
Ven ikh bin nokh azoy yung un sheyn?
||: Hay-la, hay-la, hay-la, hay-la –
Loyft-zhe, gendzelakh, aheym, aheym, aheym! :||
