ABI GEZINT

by Abe Ellstein and Molly Picon

 
A little sun a little rain
A BISL ZIN A BISL REGN
A quiet place the head to lay
A RUIK ORT DEM KOP TSU LEGN
As long as healthy can one happy be
ABI GEZINT KEN MEN GLIKLEKH ZAYN
 
A shoe a sock a clothing without patches
A SHUKH A ZOK A KLEYD ON LATES
In pocket a three four coins
IN KESHENE A DRAY FIR ZLOTES
As long as healthy can one happy be
ABI GEZINT KEN MEN GLIKLEKH ZAYN
 
The air is free for each equally
DI LUFT IS FRAY FAR YEDN GLAYKH
The sun it shines for each one poor or rich
DI ZIN ZI SHAYNT FAR YEDN EYNEM OREM ODER RAYKH
 
A little joy a little laughter
A BISL FREYD A BISL LAKHN
A time with friends a little schnaps make
A MOL MIT FRAYNT A SHNEPSL MAKHN
As long as healthy can one happy be
ABI GEZINT KEN MEN GLIKLEKH ZAYN
 
One seeks wealth, one seeks power
EYNER ZIKHT ASHIRES EYNER ZIKHT GEVIRES
Take over the whole world
AYNNEMEN DI GANTSE VELT
One thinks the entire happiness depends only on money
EYNER MEYNT DOS GANTSE GLIK HEYNGT NOR OP IN GELT
They should all seek, they should all crawl
ZOLN ALE ZIKHN ZOLN ALE KRIKHN
Only I think by me
NOR IKH TRAKHT BAY MIR
I need that “like a hole in my head”
IKH DARF DOS OYF KAPORES
Because the happiness stands by my door
VAYL DOS GLIK SHTEYT BAY MAYN TIR.

ALE BRIDER

 
Adapted from a poem by Morris Winshevsky
 
Un mir zaynen ale brider
Oy, oy, ale brider
Un mir zingen fieylekhe lider
Oy, oy, oy.
Un mir haltn zikh in eynem;
Oy, oy, zikh in eynem
Azelkhes iz nito bay keynem
Oy, oy, oy.
 
Un mir zaynen ale shvester;
Oy, oy, ale shvester
Vi Sore, Rivka, Rut un Esther
Oy, oy, oy.
Un mir zaynen ale eynik
Oy, oy, ale eynik
Tsi mir zaynen fil tsi veynik
Oy, oy, oy.
 
We are all brothers and sing happy songs. And we are all sisters. We
stay together, always united, caring for one another.

O KUM SHOYN SHTILER OVNT

Author unknown; adaptation by Daniel Charney

Oh come already quiet evening and rock the fields (to sleep)
O KUM SHOYN SHTILER OVNT, UN VIG DI FELDER AYN.
We sing you a praise-song, oh dear evening light
MIR ZINGEN DIR A LOYB-LID, O LIBER OVNT SHAYN.
 
How quiet it has become, it becomes the air already cold
VI SHTIL ES IZ GEVORN, ES VERT DI LUFT SHOYN KALT.
Its song has already ended the nightingale in forest
ZAYN LID HOT SHOYN FARENDIKT DER NAKHTIGAL IN VALD.
 
It becomes darker the meadow, it comes the night to go
S’VERT TUNKELER DI LONKE, ES KUMT DI NAKHT TSU GEYN.
The dear white birches remain standing in field alone
DI VAYSINKE BERYOZE BLAYBT SHTEYN IN FELD ALEYN.
 
 
 
 
Oh come, quiet evening, and rock the fields to sleep.
We sing you a song of praise, oh dear evening light.
How quiet it has become, the air is becoming cold.
The nightingale has finished its song in the forest.
The meadow is getting darker, night is coming.
The dear white birches are left standing alone in the field.

ZOG NIT KEYNMOL

Zog nit keynmol,

Zog nit keynmol geyst dem letstn veg,

Kumen vet nokh unzer oysgebenkte sho,
Trot mir zaynen do,

Kumen vet nokh unzer oysgebenkte sho,
Unzer trot fun grinem palmen land,
 
Vaytn land fun shney,
Grinem palmen land vaytn land fun shney,
Unzer payn mit unzer vey,
Vu gefaln s'iz a shpritz fun unzer blut,
Shprots ton gvure mut,
Unzer mut,
Vu gefaln s'iz a shpritz fun unzer blut,
Unzer mut geshriben iz dos lid,
 
Blut un nit mit blay,
Iz dos lid mit blut un nit mit blay,
Fun a foy-gl oyf der fray,
S'hot a folk ts'vishn falndike vent,
Mit naganes hent,
In di hent,
S'hot a folk ts'vishn falndike vent,
Lid gezungen zog nit keynmol,
 
Zog nit keynmol,
Zog nit keynmol geyst dem letstn veg,
Himlen far-shteln bloye teg,
Kumen vet nokh unzer oysgebenkte sho,
Trot mir zaynen do,
Zaynen do,
Kumen vet nokh unzer oysgebenkte sho,
Unzer trot fun grinem palmen land.
