Original lyrics
Undzer tish shteyt vays geshpreyt; Di zilber laykhter, di arbe koyses. Farn seder alts shoyn greyt. Shmire matse un kharoyses. In vaysn kitl ongeton, Oyfn veykhn hesevbet. Zitst der tate oybnon. Un di mame bay der zayt. Un mir fregn di fir kashes, "Ma nistano halaylo haze, Mikol haleylos?" Dertseylt der tate tsyber mayses. Un mir, fargafte hern oys; "Avodim hoyinu." Knekht zenen mir geven. Baym roshe Paro in Mitsrayim; Undzer tsur hot got derzen. Fun knekht-shaft Undz geton bafrayen. Me trinkt a koyse, Me makht hamoytsi Un me hoybt shoyn on dem tish. Men tunkt dem morer in kharoyses Un me nemt zikh tsu dem tish. Der tate zingt nokh, er iz freylekh. Un er shmeykhlt azoy lib; Di mame brengt madaney memelkh Un mir dakht es tantst di shtub. Der kos Eliyohu a fuler shteyt Mit roytn finkldikn vayn; Undzer tir iz ofnt breyt. Eliyohu hanovi kumt arayn.
Translated lyrics
Notes
I found this song on an album entitled Seder Nights with Sidor Belarksy. The wonderful poet Aliza Greenblatt wrote many songs, for some she wrote the music, also. She was Woody Guthrie's mother-in-law. Lorele
