Original French: Georges Brassens
Yiddish: Daniel Kahn & Eléonore Biezunski
ot iz a lid, poshet un prost
far dir, guter poyer, vos du host
mir geshenkt shpener az mayn velt
z'gevorn farfroyren in kelt.
khotsh aza shtikl varemkayt
ven ale fayne gute layt,
tsi a gvirte tsi a gvir,
farmakhn in ponem di tir.
nisht geven mer v'a kleyninker flam
nor es dervaremt tif in mir
un brent in neshome on a shir
vi a fayerdiker tararam.
tayerer poyer, ven du shtarbst,
ven dayn zumer vert shoyn harbst
zol men dikh trogn in heylikn sod
baym eybikn got.
ot iz a lid poshet un prost

az ikh bin gevezn in noyt.

nisht geven mer vi a shtik broyt

ven dayn zumer vert shoyn harbst
zol men dikh trogn in heylikn sod
baym eybikn got.
