geboyrn in a zaydn hemdl

ikh bin geboyrn in a zaydn hemdl,

bashitst es mikh un varemt tog un nakht.‎

es flegt der vint aropraysn mayn hitl
di shteyner beyz tseflikn mayne shikh.
di kleyder kh'hob in veg oyf broyt gebitn
un bloyz dos hemdl kh'hob gelozn zikh.‎

es flegn trefn zikh oykh yene gute,
vos zenen greyt geven mir gebn gold.
abii nor zeyer rakhvesdikn futer,
oyf hoyln layb kh'volt ontsien gevolt.‎

ven kumen vet tsu mayne teg an ende.
un blaybn vel ikh ergets in der mit.
iz dek mikh iber mit mayn zaydn hemdl,
vos in mayn shvern veg hob ikh farhit.‎
