Donje mt sun ojf di bremen zum sstep trajbt arojss ire schof. Don bagegnt di passtuschke un lost schtil di ojgn arop, Donje farschemt tut a schmejchl, un lost schtil arunter dem kop. Don sizt bajm lernen un ss4zit sich der tog epess lang on a ssof. Ss4ducht im der blat is a lonke di ojssjess - a tscherede schof.

Don gejt togteglech in klejsl, Donje togtegech in sstep, Don hot zwej pejelech schwarze, Donje zwej goldene zep.
Translated lyrics
Don has two black sidelocks and is the best student in school. Donye has two golden braids and is called the queen of the steppes, where she brings the sheep every day. They meet every morning, they blush and cast their eyes down bashfully. And when Don is sitting in school the letters blur into a herd of sheep. And when Donye watches the herd she keeps thinking of Dons curled sidelocks.
