Текст песни Daniel Kahn - haleluye

geven a nign vi a sod,
vos dovid hot geshpilt far got.
nor dir volt’s nisht geven aza yeshue.
me zingt azoy: a fa, a sol,
a misheberekh heybt a kol,
der duler meylekh vebt a haleluye

dayn emune iz gevorn shvakh,
basheva bodt zikh afn dakh,
ir kheyn un di levone — dayn refue
zi nemt dayn guf, zi nemt dayn kop,
zi shnaydt fun dayne hor a tsop
un tsit fun moyl arop a haleluye

o tayere, ikh ken dayn stil,
ikh bin geshlofn af dayn dil,
ikh hob keynmol nisht gelebt mit aza tsnue
ikh zey dayn shlos,
ikh zey dayn fon,
a harts iz nisht keyn meylekhs tron,
s’iz a kalte un a kalye haleluye

oy vi amol, to zog mir oys
vos tut zikh dortn in dayn shoys?
to vos zhe darfst zikh shemen vi a bsule?
nor gedenk vi kh’hob in dir gerut,
vi di shkhine glut in undzer blut,
un yeder otem tut a haleluye

zol zayn mayn got iz gor nishto
un libe zol zayn kol-mumro,
a puster troym tsebrokhn un mekhule,
nisht keyn geveyn in mitn nakht,
nisht keyn bal-tshuve oyfgevakht,
nor an elnte kol-koyre haleluye

an apikoyres rufstu mikh,
mit shem-havaye lester ikh,
nor meyle, ikh dervart nisht keyn geule.
nor es brent zikh heys in yedn os
fun alef beys gor bizn sof
di heylike un kalye haleluye

un dos iz alts, s’iz nisht keyn sakh.
ikh makh dervayle vos ikh makh.
ikh kum do vi a mentsh,
nisht keyn shiluye.
khot zh’ alts farloyrn say vi say
vel ikh farloybn adoynay
un shrayen vi l’khayem haleluye.
