Dertseyln flegt a maysele
Der zeyde, Reb Yisruel,

– Nor eyn zakh iz im geblibn:
Dos fidele in hant…
Fin land tse land nor gey
In ven dus harts tit vey:
Oy, nemt dus Yidele
In hant zayn fidele
In shpilt a lidele,
Oy, mit gefil!
Dus fidele dertseylt
Vus tif in hartsn im kveylt:
Az s’gantse leybn iz nisht meyn [= mer]
Vi a troyrik shpil…
In plitsim freylekh iz er,
A treyst fin fidele men hert,
Az s’veln simkhes nokh bay yidn zayn!
Dertseylt dus fidele
A freylakh lidele,
Az s’vet der yid keynmul nisht intergeyn!
[interlude: violin, piano]
Loyt dem zeydns maysele,
Ver hot zikh forgeshtelt,
Az kimen vet a soyne,
Vus vet khurev makhn di velt
Itst di vilde khaye:
In der erd zi ligt –
Gebentsht di hent, di traye,

Ober nisht geshvind
Vet heyln undzer vind…

In shpilt a lidele,

Dus fidele dertseylt
Vus tif in hartsn im kvelt:
Az s’gantse leybn iz nisht meyn [= mer]
Vi a troyerik shpil.
In plitsim freylekh es vert,
A treyst fin fidele men hert,
Az s’veln simkhes nokh bay yidn zayn!
Dertseylt dus fidele
A freylakh lidele,
Az s’vet der yid keynmul nisht intergeyn!
