Dertseyln flegt a maysele
Der zeyde, Reb Yisruel,

Vos hot geleybt amul.


Sonim hobn getribn
Im fun land tsu land

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!

A freylakh lidele,
Az s’vet der yid keynmul nisht intergeyn!

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,

Vet heyln undzer vind…

In hant zayn fidele
In shpilt a lidele,
Oy, mit gefil!

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!
