Yiddish Lyrics
Oy ma-me bin ich farliebe
Oy ma-me bin ich farliebt
A klezmer yingl ma-me ge-trai-e
Ligt mir nor in zin
Ich veyn un lach un veys nit ma-me
Oy vel-che velt ich bin
Oy ma-me bin ich farliebt
Oy ma-me bin ich farliebt
'ch'volt di gantze velt arum-ge-numen
Un tzu-ge-drikt tzu zich,oy
Oy ma-me bin ich farliebt!
Translation
Oy ma-me I'm so in love
Oy ma-me I'm so in love
Oy ma-me I'm so in love
A musician-boy has my heart
My head is in a spin
I laugh and cry and just don't know
What world I'm living in ai,ai,ai,
Oy ma-me I'm so in love
When I see his smiling face
It makes me want her more and more
Oy ma-me I'm so in love
