Original lyrics
Iz gezesn bay der gemore Der alter Menashe Un gelernt mit hislaves. Kumt tsu im zayn vayb Zlate Un fregt im a kashe: Vu nemt men oyf shabes? Nyet u meni ni vodku... s'a khidesh? Nyet ni bulki, ni khali na kidesh. Efsher iz a svore Zolst farmakhn di gemore Un geyn ergets borgn A por groshn oyf morgn? Vayl fun dayn lernen mit hislaves Tak nye bude oyf shabes! Lernt vayter der alter Menashe: Ma tikanto? - S'iz a shvere kashe! Oy kushat khotshetsa, I kushat treba. Nor vos zol men zogn A terets dem mogn? Kumt tsu im zayn vaybl Zlate: Oy, Menashe, Menashe Bist dokh a tate! Mir hobn tsvey tekhter Shoyn ro-e livrokhe, Zey zaynen a koved Far undzer mishpokhe, Dos darfstu nit fargesn! Un ven s'iZ nito oyf nadn Vern zey, kholile, farzesn! Lernt vayter der alter Menashe: Zlate, Zlate! S'shteyt geshribn in Rashe Az a yidishe tokhter Tor nit fregn keyn kashes! Zi darf danken dem Boyre Vos zi hot a man a bal-toyre, Un oyb s'iz nito oyf haynt, Un s'iz nito oyf morgn, Hobn mir a groysn Got, Un er vet shoyn zorgn
