IKH VEL ZAYN BAFRAYT (I Shall Be Released)
Original English by Bob Dylan, Yiddish by Daniel Kahn
di gantse velt iz ful mit sonim
un vi a yor iz yede sho,
nor ikh gedenk nokh yedn ponim
vos hot mikh farshlosn do.
mayn morgnzun vet shaynen,
zol di tsayt nit zayn tsu vayt,
kumt a tog shoyn, kumt a tog shoyn,
ikh vel zayn bafrayt.
me' zogt, a mentsh darf hobn koyekh
ven s'vert zayn gantse velt farlendt,
nor kh'ze mayn opshayn in der hoyekh,
vayt ariber tfise vent
dort shteyt a yat in yener bande,
er lozt aroys aza geveyn:
m'hot mikh ayngezetst af grande
mayn neshome iz dokh reyn.
