Yiddish Lyrics
1.
Koyf mir nit keyn lokenes
Un makh mir nit sheyn
Koyf dir a por shtivelekh
Du darfst tsum priziv geyn
Yoshke, Yoshke, oy vey
Yoshke fort avek
Nokh a sho un nokh a sho
Der poyezd geyt avek
2.
Klog zhe nit un veyn zhe nit
S'iz altzding oy blote
Ikh vel zayn in militer
Der Shenster in der rote
Oy oy oy
Yoshke fort avek
Nokh a kush un nokh a kush
Der poyezd geyt avek
Translation
1.
Do not buy me and lockets
Do not make me look pretty
Buy yourself a pair of boots
Because you are in the army now
Yoshke is going away
Another hour, just one hour and his train will be off
2.
Do not grieve for me
Do not cry over me
It is nothing
When I get to the army
I shall be the best soldier in my company
oy oy oy
Yoshke is going away.
Just one more kiss
And the train will be off
