Shteyt a bokher, shteyt un trakht
Trakht un trakht a gantse nakht
Vemen tzu nemen un nisht farshemen
Vemen tzu nemen un nisht farshemen
Meydl, meydl, kh'vil bay dir fregn,
Vos ken vaksn, vaksn on regn?
Vos ken brenen un nisht oyfhern?
Vos ken benken, veynen on trern?
Narisher bokher, vos darfstu fregn?
A shteyn ken vaksn, vaksn on regn,
Libe ken brenen un nisht oyfhern,
A harts ken benken, veynen on trern.
