Original lyrics
L'chaim jo' testve'rek, igyatok velem A hazigazda e'ljen soka'ig. Adjon a Jo' I"n nektek e's neku"nk Ege'szse'get fejto"l boka'ig. A Jo' I"n segi'tsen, hogy a Messia's jo"jjo"n. Jaj, csak segi'tene szapora'n. Akkor leszu"nk mi majd nagy urak, Folyik a bor aka'r a patak. L'chaim jo' testve'rek, vigan egyut e'lnek, L'shono ha-bo biYrushalayim.
Translated lyrics
L'chaim good brothers, drink with me May the proprietor of this establishment live long May G"d give You and us Salubrity from head to ankle. May G"d help the Messiah's coming If only He helped us prolifically. Then we shall live like lords, Wine will run like streams L'chaim good brothers, let us rejoice together Next year in Jerusalem !
