Yiddish Lyrics
May ko mashme-lon der regn?
Vos-zhe lozt er mir tzu hern?
Zayne tropns oyf di shoybn
Kayklen zikh vi tribe trern.
Un di shtivl zaynen tzerisn,
Un es vert in gas a blote;
Bald vet oykh der vinter kumen
Kh'hob keyn vareme kapote....
May ko mashme-lon dos likhtl?
Vos-zhe lozt es mir tsu hern?
S'kapet un es trift ir kheylev
Un s'vet bald fun ir nisht vern.
Azoy tsank ikh do in klayzl,
Vi a likhtl, shvakh un tunkl.
Biz ikh vel azoy mir oisgeyn,
In der shtil, in mizrekh vinkl..
May ko mashme-lon der zeyger?
Vos-zhe lozt er mir tsu hern?
Mit zayn geln tzifer-bletl,
Mit zayn klingen, mit zayn shvern.
S'iz an ongeshtelte keyle,
S'hot kain lebn, kain gefiln,
Kumt di sho, dan muz er klingen,
On zayn rotzn, on zayn viln.
May ko mashme-lon, mayn lebn?
Vos-zhe lozt es mir tsu hern?
Foyln, velkn in der yugnt,
Far der tsait fareltert vern.
"Esn teg" un shlingen trern,
Shlofn oyfn foyst dem hartn.
Toytn do di "oylem haze"
Un oyf "oylem habe" vartn.
