Original lyrics
Ven ikh bin geven a kind Gedenk ikh punkt vi atsind Geven iz mir damolst gut Gevust hob ikh dan fun kayn zorg nit Ven ikh bin gevorn groys, Ikh bin in der velt aroys. Gezen vi mentshn zey zaynen farshtelt, Gevorn iz mir fintster mayn velt. A bisl libe un a bisele glik, Di zun zol shaynen Nor oyf eyn oygnblik Ven ikh zol kenen in mayn harts Araynbrengen zonenshayn oyf eyn minit A bisl libe un a bisele glik Di zun zol shaynen Nor oyf eyn oygnblik Der liber Got hot yedn gegebn Azoy fil glik in lebn Nor mir keyn zakh nit.
Translated lyrics
When I was a little child, I still can recall the time, Ah, those were the good old days. I knew not a care nor a worry. When I was at last full grown I wandered the world around Seeing how people are hollow and false, My world was a darker place. A little love, and just a little bit of luck, The sun shall shine Just a little bit When in my heart the rain is Falling down, Bring the sun around a minute, please. A little love, and just a little bit of luck, The sun shall shine just a little bit To every one our dear lord has given A bit of luck in living, Don't deny me mine.
