Original lyrics
Shpilt zhe mir dem nayen sher, vos is zroys gekmen. Khob mikh farlibt in a ingele a sheyns Un kon tzu im gekumen, Zitzt er zeyer vayt. Kvolt dokh im a kush gegebn, Shem ikh zikh far layt. Nisht azoy far layt. Vi far Got aleyn. Kvolt mit im fabrakht di tzayt Az keyner zol nisht zen. 2. Shpilt zhe mir dem nayen sher, Vos iz aroys gekumen. Khob mikh farlibt a yingele a sheyns Un kon tzu im nisht kumen. Kum zhe tzu mir gikher, Khvart oyf dir shoyn lang. Kum zhe tzu mir gikh ariber, M'zol nisht hern dayn gang. Fir ikh dir in shtebele Fun mayn mamen aleyn. Khosn-kale veln mir zayn Un tzu der khype geyn.
Translated lyrics
1. Play me the new Sher dance. I am in love with a handsome fellow. I should like to go to him, but he is far away. I would kiss him, but I am afraid people will start talking. Let them talk - there is God above. I would like to be with him, but there is always someone watching. 2. Play me the new Sher dance, I've heard enough of sad tunes. I am in love with a handsome fellow. I want to see him. Come to me soon, I've been waiting for you so long. Come to me quietly, come through the window. I shall take you straight to my mother's room, and we will be groom and bride and celebrate our wedding.
