Yiddish Lyrics

S'iz a finstere nakht un ikh zits mir un trakht mayn lebn hot gornit kayn vert
S'iz leydik un pust mayn shtrebn umsist kayn mazl iz mir nit bashert
Nor plitsim a shtral, a likhtiker kval, tsvey oygn hob ikh derzen
Ikh hob bald der filt
Mayn harts is farshpilt
Nor ikh bin tsufridn geven
Oygn far dayne, shvartse, oygn
Far zey shteyt ayngeboygn di likhtike zun
Oygn, far dayne shvartse, oygn
Zay hobn tsugestoygn mayn hart un ikh bin
Far shklaft gevorn oyf mayn gants lebn
Fargaft gevorn un ikh vel shtrebn ales zey tsugebn
Oygn far dayne, shvartse, oygn
Di velt vet mer nit toygn on dayne shvartse oygn

Translation

Your dazzling, compelling eyes have attracted my heart
No longer am I depressed as I responed to the allure of your ecstatic, dark eyes
