Original lyrics
A Finf-un-Tsvantsiker Bayt zhe mir oys a finf-un-tsvantsiker Oyf samerodne drayer Un shpilt zhe mir klezmorimlekh A lidale gor tayer. Yababam... Bayt zhe mir oys a finf-un-tsvantsiker Oyf samerodne firer Un shpilt zhe mir klezmorimlekh Dos zelbiker vos frier. Yababam... Bayt zhe mir oys a finf-un-tsvantsiker Oyf samerodne tsener Un shpilt zhe mir klezmorimlekh Dos zelbiker - nor shener. Yababam... Bayt zhe mir oys a finf-un-tsvantsiker Oyf same imperyaln Un shpilt zhe mir klezmorimlekh Ir zolt aykh gor nit ayln! Yababam...
Translated lyrics
A Twenty-Fiver Change me a twenty-fiver Into coins of three And play now, musicians A song that's dear to me. Yababam Change me a twenty-fiver Into coins of four And play now, musicians The same tune as before. Yababam Change me a twenty-fiver Into coins of two And play the tune, musicians Play it better, once again. Yababam Change me a twenty-fiver Into "imperials" for the boys And now once more, musicians Without haste and without noise. Yababam
