Yiddish Lyrics
A Pintale
Myestetshku Liadinu - a pintale
Mogilyovski Gubernyu - a pintale
Duchovnumu Rabinyu Shneyer Zalmanyu. A pintale.
Al ken shrayb ich dir tayerer Rebenyu
Az di parnose iz bay mir nit azoy ay-ay-ay
Un di vayb iz gezund iz bay mir oych nit azoy ay-ay-ay
Ober du bist doch der groyser Ay-ay-ay
To helfzhe mir Rebenyu.
Myestetshku Liadinu - a pintale
Mogilyovski Gubernyu - a pintale
Duchovnumu Rabinyu Shneyer Zalmanyu. A pintale.
Ich ken dir haynt moydi'a zayn, tayerer Rebenyu
Az di parnose is shoyn bay mir gevorn ay-ay-ay
Un mayn vayb dem Obershten iz shoyn gevorn mit gezund
vider amol ay-ay-ay
Vayl du bist doch der groyser Ay-ay-ay
To dank ich dir, Rebenyu.
Myestetshku Liadinu - a pintale
Mogilyovski Gubernyu - a pintale
Duchovnumu Rabinyu Shneyer Zalmanyu. A pintale.
