Kh'bin a leyner mentshele; Kh'loz zikh mikh baregenen, kh'veys keyn khokhmes nit. Kh'hob gehat a tatenyu, Hot er mir gelernt Alef-beys oyf oysveynik Un mer keyn khokhmes nit. kh'hob gehat a rebenyu, Hot er mikh oysgelernt Sider, khumesh, rashe, Un mer keyn khokhmes nit. Kh'hob gehat a shadkhndl, a voyler mentsh iz er geven, Hot er mir gebrakht a vayb, Vos veyst keyn khokhmes nit.
Translated lyrics
I once had a dear mother who said, my child, just be good and pietous, I know no greater wisdom. Rain, little rain, I'm just a little man, I let myself be rained on, and know no greater wisdom. I once had a father who taught me the Alphabet by heart, a no greater wisdom. I once had Rabbi who taught me the bible and the Talmud, and no greater wisdom. Once I had a marriage broker, a good man was he, he got me a wife, that has no wisdom at all!
