Yiddish Lyrics

Far vos zol yikh nisht kenen
loyfn, shpringen vy der tsveyter?
Far vos zitz zikh un gey nisht
oyf der velt der breyter?

Far vos loyft mayn khaber
un yogt zikh nokh gelt?
Er dreyt, er shvindlt,
far im iz di velt.

Er zitst in Niu-York.
in volstrit.
Er shraybt di tshekn
un vegn tsoln trakht er nisht.

Far vos zol ikh nisht
ton dos zelbe vos yener
Shmuklen shvindlen
un oyszen vos shener?

Vos nutstu mir, du hartz,
tsu hayntiker velt?
Du shlofst, du kholemst,
ven es kumt nor tsu gelt.
