Song Text
Ikh vil nit kayn ayzerne keytn,
Ikh vil nit kayn goldene kroyn.
||: Di knekhtshaft iz mies un biter,
Zi meg zayn di G’thayt aleyn. :||
Ikh veys nit fun moyre far laytn,
Ikh veys nit fun koyrim far G’t –
||: Mayn harts iz mayn knekht un bafeyler
Mayn viln iz oykh mayn gebot! :||
Zol sheltn der kleynlekher soyne,
Zol sharfn zayn tempikn shverd,
||: Tsu zinken in fintstern opgrunt
Iz im fun der tsukunft bashert! :||
Ikh shpin mir mayn fodem fun shtraln,
Ikh veb mir mit gloybn mayn fon,
||: Fun di, velkhe shpiln in lebn,
Gevint nor der drayster dem kon! :||
