Yiddish Lyrics

groyser got, mir zingen lider
undzer hilf bistu aleyn!
nemt tsunoyf di snopes, brider,
biz di zun vet untergeyn!

loz di zun undz brenen, brotn,
zi hot undz geshaynt tsum glik;
zet, dos broyt iz undz gerotn,
kinder, keyn mol nit tsurik!

groyser got, du helfst dem mentshn,
ven er ruft tsu dir in noyt,
zolst undz vayter take bentshn
mit hatslokhe un mit broyt!

nemt tsunoyf aykh ale in eynem,
nakhes hobn mir shoyn fil,
un dem goldenem krants dem sheynem
fun di zangen trogt in shul!

lozn undzere kinder visn
fun a lebn oyf der velt,
az dos broyt un yeder bisn
iz fun undzer eygn feld.

Translation

G-d Almighty, we sing a song
You are our only help.
Gather together the sheaves, brothers
Before the sun goes down

Let the sun scald us, burn us,
It has shone on us happiness,
Satiety, that bread has saved us,
Children, never go back!

Great G-d, You help the people,
When they call out to You,
May You continue to bless us
With success and with bread!

Gather together everyone,
Contentment, we have already much,
And the golden garlands, the beautiful,
Of the ears carried in shul!

Let our children learn
A way of life in this world
Where bread and everything we eat
Is produced in our own fields.
