Original 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.
Translated lyrics
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
