Original lyrics
Vi oft mir flegn trefn zikh in shenkl, Mir zenen yung un narish dan geven; Gedeynsktu vi mir flegn dort farbreyngen, Troymen vos iz keyn mol nit geshen. Geven a tsayt, mayn fraynd, Ay, vi es beynkt zikh haynt, Mir flegn hulyen, lakhn gantse nekht. dan hobn fis geshpringen, Un dos harts gezungen, ay, a tsayt, Mayn fraynd, geven a tsayt. Day, day.... Dos lebn geyt nit imer vi gevuntshn, Mir hobn zikh tseheydt af yorn lang, Un nokh dem ven mir hobn zikh getrofn, Demont in yene tsaytn mit gezang. Geven a tsayt... Kh'bin haynt banakht geshtanen farn shenkl, Getrakht, "Ay ven ikh volt gekent zayn dayns," Geshpiglt zikh in fenster un gefregt im, "Iz dos modne ponem take mayns?" Geven a tsayt... Plutslung zenen tirn zikh tsefloygn, Ikh hob gehert mayn nomen vi a mol, Mir zenen itster elter nor nit kliger, Mit troymen vi in yungt, on a tsol. Geven a tsayt...
