Song Text
Heysn heys ikh Yosl Ber,
Un ikh din in militer.
Shtivl trog ikh, a mundir –
Lehavdil, vi an ofitsir.
Yosl Ber dint in militer!
Yosl, Yosl, Yosl Ber dint in militer!
Geven bin ikh a shuster-yung,
Gelekt di podeshdve mit der tsung.
Haynt mit a biks un mit a shverd -
Hob ikh di shusteray in dr’erd.
Yosl Ber dint in militer!
Yosl, Yosl, Yosl Ber dint in militer!
Vos emes iz: bay dem pif-poyf
Fun der biks shray ikh oyf!
Kh’tsiter vi a blat fin boym
Az ikh khap dem otem koym…
Yosl Ber dint in militer!
Yosl, Yosl, Yosl Ber dint in militer!
Ober mitn bezem iz mir gring:
Ikh ker di kazarme un ikh zing!
Az s’endikt zikh di bezem-shlakht,
Un G’t helft, s’vert shoyn nakht…
Yosl Ber dint in militer!
Yosl, Yosl, Yosl Ber dint in militer!
Gey ikh mir in gas aroys,
Tref a meydl ikh aroys.
Gib ikh zikh far ir an oyg
Un a vunk ir mitn oyg…
Yosl Ber dint in militer!
Yosl, Yosl, Yosl Ber dint in militer!
Firt zi mikh in kikh arayn
Un iz mekhabed mikh mit vayn.
Zi iz mekhabed mikh mit fish
Mit vus nokh – dos zog ikh nisht…
Yosl Ber dint in militer!
Yosl, Yosl, Yosl Ber dint in militer!
