Lyrics

Stav ya piti u-u-u pyatnitsu
Propil, ya propil svoyu belitsu...
Treba treba znati yak gulyati
Treba treba znati yak brehati...
(?) tzedokah davati
Pred panom-hozyainom otvechati...

O-o-oh, mi piem, ta mi piem
Ta mi gulyaem...

Um mir trinken yaym azoi mayim (?)
Un miz zogen ale tzuzammen, 'Lechaim' (?)
Ha tot shma min hashomayim (?)

Translation

I started drinking last Friday...
I sold my heifer for the booze.
I should've known better than drink,
I should've known better than lie,
How am I supposed to give to the tzedokoh and
answer to 'pan'-master?

ah, we keep drinking
and party all the time

And we drink.....
And we all go saying, ' Lechaim'
(And He listens?) from Heaven.
