(Krakow, 2 October 1940) Yidn! Zol zayn freylekh! Shoyn nisht lang, ikh hof S'ekt bald di milkhome, Es kumt bald zeyer sof. Freylekh! Nor nisht zorgn Un nisht arumgeyn trib Hot geduld, bitokhn Un nemt alts on far lib Nor geduld, bitokhn Nisht lozt aroys fun hant Undzer alt klezayen, Vos halt undz nokh baynand Hulyet, tantst talyonim! Shoyn nisht lang, ikh hof Geven amol a homen Es vart oyf aykh zayn sof. Hulyet, tantst talyonim! Laydn ken a yid S've di shvertse arbet Undz keyn mol makhn mid Kern? Zol zayn kern! Kolzman ir vet zayn, Uz imzist dos kern S'vet do nisht vern rayn Vashn? Zol zayn vashn! Kayins royter flek Hevls blut fun hartsn Dos vasht zikh nisht avek -Traybt undz fun di dires! Shnaydt undz op di berd! Yidn! Zol zayn freylekh Mir hobn zey in d'rerd...
Translated lyrics
Jews, let us be cheerful! It won't be long, I hope- The war will soon be over, And soon their end will come Be cheerful and don't worry Don't carry on in grief Have patience and have confidence Take hard times in your stride Remember: patience, confidence Don't let slip away Those ancient weapons that unite Our people to this day! Revel, dance, you hangmen! It won't be long, I hope Once there was a Haman His fate awaits you, too Revel, dance, you hangmen Jews know what suffering means The most demanding labor Won't tire us in the least "Sweep!" you tell us? So we'll sweep But as long as you remain, There is no point to sweeping This place will not come clean! "Wash" you tell us? So we'll wash smell my ballAbel's heart Cannot be washed away Drive us from our homes Cut away our beards! Jews, let us be cheerful- We'll see them go to hell!
