Original lyrics
1. Vu bistu geven, az gelt iz geven Un der nadn iz gelegn oyfn tish? Haynt bistu do, az keyn gelt iz nito Un dos lebn iz gevorn asoy mies... 2. Vu bistu geven, az yugnt iz geven Un dos lebn iz geven tsuker-zis? Haynt bistu do, az di hor zaynen gro Un dos lebn iz gevorn azoy mies 3 Vu bistu geven, az yugnt iz geven Un dos harts hot mit libe gebrent? Haynt bistu do, az der kop iz shoyn gro Un es tsitern bay mir shoyn di hent
Translated lyrics
Where were you When my dowry was readily at hand Now you are here But all is lost And my life has become an ordeal Where were you When money was plenteous And life was full of joy? Now you are here When my hair is grey And my life has lost its appeal Where were you In the years of my youth When my heart for your love did yearn Now you are here When my youth has long past My hands now tremble My wounds will not heal
