Refrain 3. Gis mir on, mayn tayere, Dos same beste yayin Lomir take far dem nign Oys trinken lekhayim Kener zogn, kener veysn Dortn muz es lign afn dno fun driter koyse Der nign shebenign
Translated lyrics
Pour me, my dear A glass of wine Let's drink to life, We should all be healthy I have heard it said That in the old wine Grandfather himself Hid a song Pour me, my dear, A glass of wine, To all my dear ones Shall I drink my toast I have heard it said And it's probably no lie That in the second glass Lies grandfather's song Pour me, my dear, The very best wine To the song Let us drink a toast The experts know, the experts say, There is where it must lie, At the bottom of the third cup The song, the most beautiful song of all songs
Notes
The clip featured here is from Klezamir CD Back in the Shtetl Again". >Vel ikh oys trinken lekhayim >Ikh hob gehert der tseyln, these two lines should be written: Vel ikh oystrinken lekhayim Ikh hob gehert dertseyln,... 'oystrinken' is one word 'dertseyln' is one word. Reyzl Kalifowicz-Waletzky -wife of the composer
