Lekhayim rebenyu, hot a gute vokh!
Shrayt yeyder bazunder – okh! okh!
Kayn mashke nit gezhalevet, lomir trinken nokh
||: Mir hobn oysgebetn a gute vokh! :||
Lekhayim, rebenyu!
A gute vokh aykh, rebetsn! Gezunt zolt ir undz zayn!
Vu nemt men oyf der velt gor aza glezl vayn?
A gute vokh aykh, rebetsn! Gist on nokh un nokh!
||: Mir hobn oysgebetn a gutinke vokh! :||
Lekhayim, rebetsn!
Ay, Yankele un Moyshele darfn nit kayn gelt –
Zey veln zayn tsadikim: Di greste oyf der velt!
Nor Serale un Terale, zey zoln zayn raykh…
||: Veln mir trinken mashke, oy (?), mit vaser glaykh… :||
Lekhayim, kinder!
Vos iz vert di gantse velt fun a glezl vayn…?
Lomir ale trinken – Lomir freylekh zayn!
A gute vokh aykh, rebetsn! Gist on nokh un nokh!
||: A gute vokh, a gut vokh, a gute vokh! :||
Lekhayim!
