The steppes have been mowed, And everything has been gathered. My dearest, come visit me - I await your arrival. The watermelons are ripe, Their juice is overflowing, They’re full of sweetness, As my heart is full of love. And the cherries, my dearest, Are black like your eyes. The trees are loaded And the branches are bending. Come visit me, my dearest, And enough of this dreaming. My love is ripe and ready, Ready as my plums are!

Di Bekhers Mit Vayn (The Goblets of Wine) Yiddish Poem by Hirsh Bloshtein Set to music by Polina Shepherd
Friends, raise your glasses of wine. The world is based entirely on love, Life grows only through love. Long live love in good health. The garden, the forest, and the wheat fields Bless my mother--the earth, Let us be blessed They stand in green, in blue, in gold. My mother—the sun and my mother—the woman! With friendship between peoples. Why? Because the sun loves them. Life without love is cold and gray.
