Unter a kleyn beymele
Zitzn inglekh tzvey.
Zey reydn fun a meydele,

Gevart hot mit a flokn.

Mit dem pas dem groysn
Oysgeklapt di beyndelekh,

Under a little tree, two boys sit and talk about a girl.

Stormy winds, rain, snow - nothing frigtened them,
not even mother who waited for them at home with a stick
to beat them.

their bones,
and drove them away.
