Original lyrics
Dn Maydale dn fains, dn Maydale dn shayns Ich vil dir epes fregn, a Retenish a klayns: Vus is hecher fnn a Hous? Vus is flinker fnn a Mous? Dn Narisher Bucher dn narisher Chlop Dn host doch nisht kayn Saychl in dain Kop: Der Roych is hecher fnn a Hous! Di Kats is flinker fnn a Mous! Vus far a Vasser's uhn Sand? Vus far a Melech hot ka Land? Di Vasser fnn Oyg senen uhn Sand! Der Melech fnn Kurtn hot ka Land! Vus far a Leffl hot ka Shtil? Vus far a Milner hot ka Mil? An upgebrochner Leffl hot ka Shtil! An upgebrennter Milner hot ka Mil! Vus is bitterer vi Gall? Vus is tifer vi a Kval? Der Gulis is bitterer vi Gall. Di Toire is tifer vi a Kval.
Translated lyrics
"A young man asks a girl, what is higher than a house? - Smoke! Which spoon has no handle? - A broken spoon! What is more bitter than gall? - The diaspora. What is deeper than a well? - The Torah."
