Song Text
Ot her ikh vider a heymish lidele,
Ot ze ikh vider dem erev, dem tsoym –
Bistu dos take, mayn kleyntshik shteytele?
Oder ikh ze dikh bloyz in mayn troym…
Ot shteyt dus shulekhl dort, nebn hoykhn boym
Fentster tsebrokhene, kruminke vent.
Shtibalekh, kvorimlekh, dekhlekh, gezunkene…
Vider, vider hob ikh aykh derkent!
Zog mir, vu zenen itst mayne khaverimlekh?
Leybn zey, vandlen zey? Zenen zey toyt?
Zing fun dem vigele, zing fun dem tsigele,
Zing mir, zing, fun der yidisher noyt!
Zingt zikh a lidele, a melankholishe,
Trerelekh heysinke flisn on a shir –
Un fil erinerung, kindershe herlekhe
Leybn in hartsn oyf bay mir…
Ot her ikh vider a heymish lidele,
Ot ze ikh vider dem erev, dem tsoym –
Bistu dos take, mayn kleyntshik shteytele?
Oder ikh ze dikh bloyz in mayn troym…
