Song Text
Du fregst mikh, mayn fraynd,
Vi alt ikh bin shoyn.
Ikh volt es dir gern dertseylt. / dertseyln?.
||: Nor gloyb mir, mayn fraynd,
Ikh veys nit aleyn –
Es hot nit geloynt zikh tsu tseyln… :||
Der karger tseylt gelt,
Der gliklekher teylt…
Me tseylt, vos iz lib, vos iz tayer:
||: Mayn leybn, oh fraynd,
Iz a vist langer veg
Un punkt farayorn vi hayor. :||
Oyb leybn heyst laydn,
Dan leyb ikh shoyn lang,
Dan hob ikh genug zey, di yorn.
||: Oyb leybn heyst hern
Fun glik khotsh a klang:
Dan bin ikh nokh gornit geboyrn. :||
