Fun di getos tsife vent In di velder fraye Anshtot keytn af di hent Kh'halt a biks a nayem Af di oyfgabes mayn fraynt Kusht mikh haldz un aktsl Mitn biks bin ikh fun haynt Fest tsunoyfgevaksn. Veynik zenen mir in tsol, Drayster vi milyonen Raysen mir af barg un tol Brikn ershalonen. Dem fashist fartsitert vert, Veyst nit vu fun vanen Shturmen yidn fun unter der erd, Yidn partizanen. S'vot nekome hot a zin Ven mit blut farshraybst im Far dem heylikn bagin Firn mir di shtraytn Neyn! mir veln nit keynmol zayn Di letste mohikaner Brengt di nakht der zunenshayn Der yid, der partizaner.
Translated lyrics
From these ghetto prison walls Into the free forests Instead of chains on my hands I carry a new rifle On missions, my friend kisses me Throat and shoulder >From this day on I am one with my weapon. We are few in number But we count for millions. On hills and in valleys We explode bridges, brigades. The fascist will tremble Won't know from where Jews, partisans, Storm up from under the earth. A word like "revenge" counts for something When you're illing to write it in blood. We strike before Sacred day's dawn. And no! We will not be the last, The Last of the Mohicans We bring sunshine to the night, Jews Partisans!
