Original lyrics
Arum dem fayer Mir zingen lider Di nakht iz tayer men vert nit mider Un zol der fayer farloshn vern Shaynt oyf der himl mit zayne shtern To kroynt di kep mit blumen krantsn Arum dem fayer mir freylekh tantsn Vayl tants un lid iz undzer lebn Dernokh in shlof khaloymes shvebn
Translated lyrics
(-From a visitor- with artistic license) Around the fire We're singing songs The night is special, and we are not tired And as the fire burns down to ashes The heavens shine on us with starlight We wrap our heads with flowering crowns Around the fire we're dancing happily To dance to music is our life And in our sleep our dreams come calling
Notes
...This is the translation I was taught when I was frist taught the song as a child. It may not be word-for-word accurate, but I believe it conveys the spirit of the piece.- A visitor ...this is one of the first Yiddish songs I learned (inna, zemerl's creator)
