Lyrics Lvov Klezmer Band - Zingt af Yidish

Zingt oyf yidish

(words and music by Arkady Gendler)

Mit a fidl, on a fidl

Vider klingt a yidish lidl

Mame-loshn – s’iz dokh a mekhaye.

Klezmer-hayntike khakhomim

Shpiln yidishe nigunim,

Tsvishn alte lider shpilt men naye.

Khotsh af yidish lang geshvign,

Zingen mir mit fargenign,

M’geyt derbay a tentsl mole-taam.

Tomer feylt a grom tsum lidl,

Tsi a strune bay dem fidl

Zingt men unter: tshiri-biri-bom

Refren:

Tshiri-bim, tshiri-bom,

Zingt bazunder tsi in eynem,

Tshiri-bim, tshiri bom,

Un far keynem zikh nit sheymen,

Tshiri-bim, tshiri-bom,

Tshiri-bim-bom-bim-bom-bom……

Nokh dem shabesdikn kidesh,

Zingt men zmires oykh af yidish,

S’zingen mit afile di rabonim.

Zoln ale yidn visn:

Say oyf khasenes un brisn

Yidish zingen ale mekhutonim.

Oyf kontsertn, festivaln,

Flisn naye, frishe kvaln,

Yung un alte in eynem zingen lider.

Khane, Zalmen, Reyzl, Itsik,

Moyshe, Leybl mitn smitshek,

Ale shvester, ale zaynen brider.

Refren:

Yidish vider vert geboyrn,

S’iz der shoyresh nit farloyrn,

S’fayer afn pripetshek nit farloshn.

Yidn zaynen eyn mishpokhe,

Shikn umetum a brokhe,

M’redt, m’shraybt, m’zingt af mame-loshn,

Moskve, Peterburg un Kiev,

Zaporozhye, Tel-Aviv,

Krim, Odes, Nyu-York, Yerushalaim,

San-frantsisko un Berditshev,

Yede shtot un yeder yishev,

Makhn dort af yidish a lekhaim.
