Original lyrics
Di mame iz gegangen in mark arayn noch koyln, Hot zi mir gebracht a meydale fun Poyln. Oy iz dos a meydale, a sheyns un a fayns, Mit di shvatse eygalach, ketsale du mayns. Di mame iz gegangen in mark arayn noch kroyt, Hot zi mir gebracht a meydale fun boyt. Oy iz dos a meydale, a sheyns un a fayns, Mitdi vayse tseyndelach, ketsale du mayns. Ich hob gegesn mandlen, ich hob getrunken vayn, Ich hob gelibt a meydale, un kon on ir nit zayn. Oy iz dos a meydale, a sheyns un a fayns, Mit di shvartse heralach, ketsale du mayns.
Translated lyrics
My mother went to market to buy some coal, She brought me back a lovely girl from Poland. Oh what a girl she was, how handsome and how fine, Ah, those black eyes of hers, ah, you kitten of mine. My mother went to market to buy some cabbage, She brought me back a handsome girl just off a coach. Oh what a girl she was, how beautiful and fine, Ah, those white teeth of hers, ah, you kitten of mine. I have been eating almonds, I have been drinking wine, And I have loved a lass and could not part from her. O what a lass she was, how lovely and how fine, Ah, those black locks of hers, ah, you kitten of mine.
