| lyric | en ikh nem a glezele yash, oy-oy,
finklt alts un glantst, finklt alts un glantst!
Kh'gib a vorf di puste flash, oy-oy,
un ikh gey a tants!
Oy, vey, tsuker-zis, halt mikh bay di hent,
s'flekhtn beygelakh di fis, di neshome brent!
Vos mir shviger, ver mir vayb, oy-oy,
veys ikh zey - di shlek, veys ikh zey, di shlek!
mitn ershtn kelishek vayn, oy-oy,
shvimen zey avek!
Oy, vey, tsuker-zis, brider, kumt in kon,
lomir vayzn vind un vist, vos a kaptsn kon!
Vos mir dayges, ver mir zorg, oy-oy,
shtrof nit far di reyd, shtrof nit far di reyd,
gib mir gotenyu af borg, oy-oy,
khotsh a tropn freyd!
Oy, tate, tsuker-zis, s'reydele zikh dreyt,
s'kostn tsores halb umzist, shpringt tsezetsterheyt.
Ven ikh nem a glezele yash, oy-oy,
bin ikh gor nit der, bin ikh gor nit der!
Kh'gib a vorf di puste flash,
un ikh gey a sher.
Oy, vey, tsukerzis, halt mir bay di hent,
s'flekhtn beygelakh di fis, di neshome brent. |
