Ven du host oygn vi bay a koter,
Un ven du hinkst tsu bislekh,

zog ikh: dos art mikh nit.
un ven du host a narishem shmeykhl,
un ven du host vayzosos seykhl,
ven du bist vild vi indianer
bist afile galitsianer
zog ikh: dos art mikh nit.

Bay mir bistu sheyn, bay mir hos tu kheyn,
bay mir bistu eyner oyf der velt.
Bay mit bistu git, bay mir hostu it,
bay mir bistu tayerer fun gelt.
Fil sheyne yingelekh hobn shoyn gevolt nemen mikh,
un fun zey ale oysgeklibn hob ikh nor dikh.
Bay mir bistu sheyn, bay mir hostu kheyn,
bay mir bistu tayerer fun gelt.
REFRAIN: englisch
Bay mir bistu sheyn, please let me explain,
bay mir bistu sheyn means, that you're grand.
Bay mir bistu sheyn, again I'll explain
it means, you're the favourest in the land.
I could say ""bella bella"" even say ""wunderbar"",
each language only helps me tell you, how grand you are.
I try to explain, bay mir bistu sheyn,
so kiss me and say, you understand. |
