Borsht

ikh hob nokh aza borsht nit gegesn
Ikh hob nokh aza tom nisht gefilt
Ikh ken on dir, mayn lebn, nisht targesn
Vayl ikh hob dikh lib

Un tomer vet dir geyn in nodn,
mayn mame ivet farkoyfn di shtib,
un ikh vel dir dem nodn tseyln
Vayl ikh hob dikh lib

Un tomer vet dir geyn in yikhes -
Mayn zeyde iz geveyzn a rov.
To, lomir beyde hasene hobn,
Vayl ikh bin shoyn alt in gro

Ikh bin mir a bolter, a geboyrener
Un dos gantse shtetl ken zikh in mir
Nor derekh dir bin ikh gevorn a farloyrener
Vayl ikh hob dikh lib
