Translated lyrics
Translation: Zetst un giz kalt Vaser is the water pooring in the russian steambath I have a friend Yshe he has a bride as well Her name is Mashe, may her womb be healthy The love burnd, the come under the Khupe After the Khupe i say to him what are you staying like a fool? Setzt und giz kalt vaser Doktor, Yashe complains, my wife wont become pregnant I have learnt Rashi it didnt help oh no! Psalms I sayd also, id didnt help either Says the dokter, you shall follow my instructions There is only one plan: Setzt.... An old couple, he ninety, she's eighty Listen at their nextdoor neighbor How I do envy them, he says, they live, that smoke comes out (very hot love) Says his old wife, come over here And do the same to me. Setzt ....
