Original lyrics
Oifn oivn zitst a meydle Un zi heft a zaydn kleydl. Tumba...Iz a bocher ongefloygn, Un hot dem fodem opgetsoygn. Ay du bocher, ay du fayer! S'vet dich kostn zeyer tayer. Nit mit shtrik vel ich dich penten Nor mit mayne vayse hentlech! Ch'vel nit fregn dich funvanen- Ch'vel nit oplozn fundanen Ch'vel dich haldzn, ch'vel dich libn. Iz der bocher dort farblibn. Oifn oivn zitsn tsveyen- Nit zey heftn, nit zey neyen.
Translated lyrics
On the oven sits a young girl Embroidering a little satin dress. A young lad comes flying in And pulls out the thread. Oh, you rascal, you firebrand. This will cost you dearly. I won't tie you with rope But only with my white hands. I won't ask you where you're from But I won't let you out of here! I will hold you, I will love you. And so the lad remained. On the oven, two are sitting Neither embroidering or sewing.
