Mit dayne shvartse oygn hostu mir tsugetsoygn
Un far a mentshn hostu mir gemakht.
Ikh es nit, ikh trink nit, ikh shlof nit durkh di nekht,
Un benken, lyube, benk ikh nor nokh dir, ay, nokh dir!
Ven ikh dermon zikh, dushe, on dir, mayn tayer leybn,
Geyen mir di koykhes oys nokh dir, ay, nokh dir!
Ven ikh dermon zikh, dushe, on dir, mayn tayer leybn,

||: Gedenkstu, lyube, sheyne, du host mir tray geshvorn –
Un tsum sof hostu gor andre tsvey! :||
