Shpilt mir oys, klezmoremlakh
Shpilt mir oys, a freylekhkayt
Le koved af ale unzere gute fraynd.
A tencele, a freylekhkayt
Le koved khosn-kale
A simkhe a groyse iz bay mir haynt.
Kayn gresere simkhe iz bay mame ne to
Ir kimt tsu der khupe firn
In a guter sho.
Do, shpilt mir oys, klezmoremlakh
Lebedik un sheyn
Zol zikh veln itster tantsn geyn.
Tokhter mayn, kind mayns
Di groyse zi iz der mames fayn
Du sheynste kind bist du bay mir nor du.
Di sheyne zun vos hot aza
Lange tsayt in shtub geshaynt
Nemt men bay mir itster tsu.
In a mazldiker sho
Zol min dikh bay mir nemen
Un glik zol bay dir, mayn kind, nor zayn.
Ikh zol zikh kholile
Mit dir nit darfn shaymen
Leb gliklekh, eydl un fayn.
Kayn gresere simkhe iz bay mame ne to
Ir kimt tsu der khupe firn
In a guter sho.
Do shpilt mir oys, klezmoremlakh
Lebedik un sheyn
Zol zikh veln itster tantsn geyn.
