Yisrolik Lyrics

Nu koyft-zhe papirosn,
nu koyft-zhe sakharin
Gevorn iz hant s'khoyre bilig vert:
A lebn far a groshn,
a prute - a fardinst ---
Fun geto-hendler, hot ir dokh gehert

Kh'kheys Yisrolik, ich bin dos kid fun geto
kh'kheys Yisrolik, a hefkerdiker yung
Khotsh farlibn gole neto
Derlang ikh alts nokh
a sviftsh un a zung!

A mantl on a kragn,
takhtoynim fun a zak
Kaloshn hob ikh, s'feln nor di shikh
Un ver es vet nor vagn
tsu lachn oy, a sakh
Dem vel ich nokh vayzen ver bin ikh

Kh'kheys Yisrolik, ich bin dos kid fun geto
Kh'kheys Yisrolik, a hefkerdiker yung
Khotsh farlibn gole neto
Der lang ich altst nokh
a sviftsh un a zung!

Nit meint mikh hot geborn
di hefkerdike gas
Bay tate-mame oych geven a kind
Kh'hob beydn on gevoyrn,
nit mayntes iz a shpas
Kh'bin geblibn vi in feld der vint

Kh'kheys Yisrolik,
nor ven keyner zet nit
Vish ich shtil zikh fun oyg arop a trer
Nor vun maynt troyer-
baser oz men redt nit
Tsu vos dermanen un makhn s'harts zikh shver?
