Song Text
Ikh shtey atsind un trakht
Vos far a shtarke makht
Der shikzal hot af yede [yedn] mentshn
Ot makht er zikh a shpas
Ot vert er bald in kaas
Er ken dikh shtrofn un oykh bentshn
Ven s’iz on mir gevendt
Ven ikh volt nor gekent
Dayn modnem shikzal du fartreytn
Volt ikh dikh yetst bafrayt
Dayn leybn oykh banayt
Un far dayn glik volt ikh gebeyt[n]
Glik, di bist gekimen tsi mir, ober
A bisl tsi shpeyt…
Glik, di host genimen un beshert mayn harts azoy fil freyd
Ikh vil yetst gor nit klern,
Vos der morgn vet brengen far mir
Azoy lang ikh hob khotsh ayn moment
Dos glik yetst in mayne hent
Un ikh blayb in Yisrael mit dir!
Glik, di bist gekimen tsu mir, ober a bisl tsu fri
Glik, di host genimen un beshert mayn harts azoy fil freyd!
Ikh vil yetst gur nit klern
Vus der morgn vet brengen far mir
Azoy lang ikh hob khotsh ayn moment
Dos glik yetst in mayne hent
Un ikh blayb in Yisrael mit dir…
