Yiddish Lyrics

Der Yid vert geyogt un geplogt
Nisht zikher iz far im yeder tog
Zayn lebn iz a finstere nakht
Zayn shtrebn alts far im iz farmakht
Farlozn bloyz mit sonim kayn fraynt
Kayn hofnung on a zikhern haynt

Refrain
Vi ahin zol ikh geyn?
Ver kon entfern mir?
Vi ahin zol ikh geyn?
Az farshlosn z'yede tir
S'iz di velt groys genug
Nor far mir iz eng un kleyn
Vi a blik kh'muz tsurik
S'iz tsushtert yede brik
Vi ahin zol ikh geyn?

Translation

Tell me, where can I go?
Seems every door is closed for me.
The Jew is persecuted at every turn,
there is no room for him
