Original lyrics
Bin ich mir gegangen fishelech koyfn Hob ich mir gekoyft a hecht Un ver es iz shuldig in undzer libe Der zol oysgeyn vi a lecht. Dai, dai, dai Az a kartyozhnik shpilt in kortn Farshpilt er doch nor zayn gelt Ich hob farshpilt mine yunge yorn Finster iz doch mine velt Dai, dai dai On keyn tsigl, on keyn shteyner Ken men keyn hoyz nisht moyern Ay, s'iz nisto aza mentsh oyf der velt; Vos er zol mich nisht badoyern! Dai, dai, dai Farshpilt er dochnor zayn gelt Ich hob farshpilt mine yunge yorn
Translated lyrics
I went to buy fish And I bought myself a pike. And whoever is guilty of coming between us Should blow out like a candle. When a gambler plays cards He only loses his money. I have played away my youth And now my world is dark. Without brick, without stones, You can't build a house. There isn't a person in the world Who wouldn't pity me. He only loses his money. I have played away my youth.
