In an aeropleyn iz dos geveyzn

Levine mit Chamberlin
Translation
In an aeroplane begins the story
of a flyer cool and brave who
flew across the waves
Everyone who read about his glory
without a doubt soon knew
that the hero was a Jew
Levine, Levine,
with Chamberlin togehter
Like an arrow from a quiver
shot across the sea
His wife and children,
knew nothing of his notion
to fly across the ocean
when he climbed into the plane.
The whole wide world watched in anticipation
but it was God who kept him
from annihilation
Levine, Levine
Your German destination
Brought you honor and adoration From Jews and Gentiles both.
In a world with other Jewish heroes
Levine can stand quite tall
beside them one and all
We Jews are proud of him
yes, that's for certain
You know who we mean:
Levine and Chamberline
