Original lyrics
1. Her nor, du sheyn meydele, Her nor, du fayn meydele, Vos vestu ton in aza vaytn veg? -Ikkh vel geyn in ale gasn, Un vel shrayn: vesh tzu vashn Abi mit dir tzuman zeyn. 2. Her nor, du zheyn meydele, Her no du fayn meydele, Vos vestu esn in aza vaytn veg? -Broyt mit zaltz vel ikh esn, Tate-mame vel ikh fargesn Abi mit dir tzuzamen zayn. 3. Her nor, du sheyn meydele, her nor, du fayn meydele, Af vostu vestu shlofn in aa vaytn veg? -Ikh bin ot azoy yunge froy, Ikh vel shlofn af a bintl shtroy. Abi mit dir tzuzamen zayn!
Translated lyrics
1. Listen to me, my pretty maid. What will you being on that long way? -I will go calling, "Laundry to wash" - only so I can be with you! 2. What will you eat on that long way? -I will eat bread and salt. I'll even forget my mother and father, just so I can be with you! 3. Where will you sleep on that long way? I am still young. I will sleep on the straw if need - just so I can be with you!
Notes
A song about a pretty young girl who'll do anything to be with her lover!
