Song Text

Fort a fisher oyfn yam,
Er fort arum baginen.
S'vil der fisher minastam
Fishelakh gefinen…

Tra-la-la-la-la, tra-la-la
Fishelakh gefinen
Tra-la-la-la-la, tra-la-la
Fishelakh gefinen


Gey ikh mir tsum breg arum
Un tu mayn kholem shpinen -
Tsi efsher vel ikh ergets vu
Mayn libstn gor gefinen?

Tra-la-la-la-la, tra-la-la
Mayn libstn gor gefinen
Tra-la-la-la-la, tra-la-la
Mayn libstn gor gefinen


Murmlen khvalyes troyerik,
Der yam iz a batribter:
Tsi efsher iz er gor vi ikh -
Oykhet a farlibter?

Tra-la-la-la-la, tra-la-la
Oykhet a farlibter
Tra-la-la-la-la, tra-la-la
Oykhet a farlibter


Kumt der fisher troyerik -
Er hot keyn fish gefangen
Ver ikh more-shkhoredik:
A kholem iz fargangen…

Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
A kholem iz fargangen
Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
A kholem iz fargangen
