Yiddish Lyrics
1.
A bisl zun a bisl regn
A ruig ort dem kop tzu legn
Abi gezunt ken men gliklakh zayn
2.
A shukh a zok a kleyd on lates
In keshene a drei fir zlotes
Abi gezunt ken men gliklakh zayn
3.
Di luft is frey far yeden gleikh
Di zun zi shaynt far yedn einem orim oder raykh
4.
A bisl frayd a bisl lakhn
A mol mit frant a shnepsl makhn
Abi gezunt ken men gliklakh zayn
5.
Einer zukht ashires einer zukht gevires
Aynemen di gantze velt
Einer meint dos gantze glik heingt nor up in gelt
Zoln ale zikhen zoln ale krikhen
Nor ikh trakht bayn mir
Ikh darf dos oyf kapures
Vayl do glikshtayt be mayn tir.
Translation
1.
A little sun, then rain may follow
A quiet place where things are mellow (a quiet place to
lay
my head)
If you have your health, then thank your lucky stars!
2.
A shoe, a sock, clothes with no patches
A little change to buy what's lacking
If you have your health, then than your lucky stars
3.
The air is free for rich and poor
The sun shines bright for all the people
Just open your door
4.
A little joy, a little laughter
A drink with friends, more fun thereafter
If you have your health, then thank your lucky stars!
5.
Some folks seek their fortune
Others look for stardom
And some just want the whole shebang
And some folks thing all the counts is what's in the bank
Let them all keep searching
Let them all keep chasing
But as far as I'm concerned I can live without it
'Cause lady luck's at my door
Verse 1 A bisl zun, a bisl regn A ruik ort dem kop tsu leygn Abi gezunt k
