lyrics

Farkoyfn di sapozhkelekh un forn oyf di droshkelekh,
abi mit dir in eynem tsu zayn.
Oy ikh on dir un du on mir, vi a klyamke on a tir,
ketsele, feygele mayn.

Oy ezn on a tishele, un shlofn on a kishele,
abi mit dir in eynem tsu zayn.
Oy, ikh on dir un du on mir, vi a klyamke on a tir,
ketsele, feygele mayn.

Oy shlofn oyf di vagzolekhlekh un vashn fremde polekhlekh,
abi mit dir in eynem tsu zayn.
Oy, ikh on dir un du on mir, vi a klyamke on a tir,
ketsele, feygele mayn.



I’ll discard my leathers, ride without a saddle, and cleave to you
You are a bag of myrrh lodged between my breasts, my sweet love

I’ll uncover my head, tear my tallis, and sustain you
Your fruit is sweet to my mouth, my fresh cherry

I’ll dirty myself with food scraps, sleep on your floor, and gaze at you
Our vineyard is in blossom, my radiant beauty

I’ll make all that I’ve known nameless, and forever seek you
You have brought me to your chambers, my king, my delight, my sweet bird.
