Original lyrics
Ikh ben geforen iber yamen Kh'ob gevolt nor zayn tsuzamen Mit mayn tatn Un mit ale mayne fraynt; S'hot getsitert yedes eyver Ven kh'ob farlozt mayn mames keyver, Gekumen do in dem golden land. Ikh bin geforen aher Mit hofnung on a shir, Tsum sof makht men gor khozek Do fun mir. (Refrain) Ikh vill tsurik aheym in stetele in deym Avu ikh hob gehat zikh ruyik un bekvem Ikh vil nit mer zeyn do Avu kayn fraynshaft iz nito
