Original lyrics
I Yachne-Dvoshe fort in mark, Zi halt zich in eyn pakn, Fort oyf Purim koyfn mel, Homentashn bakn. Refrain: Hop! Mayne homentashn Hop, mayne vayse Hop, mit mayne homentashn Hot pasirt a mayse! II S'geyt a regn, s'geyt [s'falt] a shney, Es kapet fun di decher Yachne firt shoyn korn-mel, In a zak mit [ful] lecher. Refrain III Nisht kayn honig, nisht kayn mon, Un fargesn heyvn, Yachne macht shoyn homentashn, Es bakt zich shoyn in oyvn. Refrain IV Yachne trogt shoyn shalachmones Tsu der bobe Yente- Tsvey-dray homentashn, Halb-roy, halb-farbrente! Refrain
Translated lyrics
short translation by Karen Daniel: Yachne Dvoshe likes to bake Stuff that's good for noshin' Her favorite thing she likes to make Is Purim Hamantaschen! refrain: Oh, my hamantaschen, I sing this for you! Oh, my hamanataschen, Whats a girl to do!!? Yachne goes out to the store To buy some flour for baking, The sack has holes, it starts to rain Oh what a mess it's making! Yachne's bringing shalach mones To her next door neighbor Half raw, half burned hamantaschen Without any flavor!
Notes
Yachne-Dvoshe prepares some humentashn, but unfortunately, it turns out that she's not such a great cook... The clip here is sung by Inna Barmash, the soloist of The Klez Dispensers . Lorele added alternate lyrics in brackets.
