Yiddish Lyrics
Leybke mayn liber, doss vet keyn gutss nisht gebn,
du brengsst mit dayn akshoness mikh fun geduld aroyss.
Du must sikh lernen tantsn ikh shver bay undser lebn-
ele nisht is haynt nokh mit unds oyss.
Megsst sikh sayn voss du bisst: a farbrenter tsiyenisst,
a bundoyets. vemen geyt doss on?
Ale isstn sayt a tsayt, un oykh di agode layt
tantsn tango un sharlesston!
Kum leybke tantsn, shem sikh nisht,
ikh vel dikh firn shrit bay shrit,
shtel sikh mayn liber, akegn iber,
un heyb tsusamen mit mir on.
Nem fesst arum mikh leybke.kroyn,
doss veyss ikh sikher, kennstu shoyn.
Itst lomir shvbn, akh is asa lebn
ven 4ss tantst a porl sharlesston.
Leybke, di mener, sey rikhtik tsu derkenen-
mayn besster termometer is ven ikh tants mit sey.

Un derfar, leybke-kroyn, vel ikh dir un take shoyn-
lernen tango un sharlesston.
Kum leybke tantsn, ...
