Yiddish Lyrics

Froyen fil hob ikh gezen
Bay yedn folk zaynen zay farsheydn
Nor keyne iz nit azoy sheyn, vi di froy bay dem Yidn
A Yidish meydl mit ir blik, farkishift bald in gantsen dikh
Un gistu nor oyf ir a kuk,
Filstu a Yidishn tam in zikh

Refrain
Mayn Yidishe meydele
Zi iz azoy sheyn
Mayn Yidishe meydele
Mit ir Yidishn kheyn
Fun gold ire herelekh
Di tseyn ner vi perelekh
Nor a Yidishe meydl ken zayn azoy sheyn
Ir vet far milyonen
Bay andre natsyonen nit gefinen a meydl
Mit a Yidishn kheyn

Translation

(My Jewish girl,
How lovely she is!
Search the world over and you'll never discover another
like her and with her charm)

English Refrain from sound clip:

A beauty so fine and rare
That's my Yiddishe girl
With charms that you simply cannot compare
That's my Yiddishe girl
Hair golden and swinging free
A smile open -- a sight you should see
There is noone more dear to me
Than my Yiddishe girl
Search now, search forever
The world over wherever
But you won't find another
Like my Yiddishe girl
