Song Text
Es shaynt di levone, es glentsn di shtern
Un di nakht shvebt of barg un tol…
Dus altitshke bikhele ligt far mir ofn,
Ikh leyen es, leyen es touznder mol.
Ikh leyen di heylike, tayere verter –
Mir hert zikh a shtime, ikh shver!
"Mayn folk: du vest zayn vi di shtern in himl
Vi zamd of dem breg fun dem mer."
Riboynoy shel-oylom! Es vert nisht farfaln
Fun dayne (al…?) kayn eyntsiker vort!
Mekuyem muz vern dayn heyliker viln!
Alts kumt in zayn tsayt! Oyf zayn ort!
Un eyns iz shoyn take mekuyem gevorn
Dos fil ikh, dos veys ikh gevis:
Mir zaynen gevorn vi zamd, vos iz hefker -
Vos yederer trit mit di fis…
Yo, G’tenyu, emes: Vi zamd un vi shteyner –
Tsushpreyt un tsuvorfn oyf shand un oyf shpot.
Nu, ober di shtern, di rizike, klore,
Di shtern, di shtern: VU ZAYNEN ZEY, G’T?
