Ver se veyst nit, ver se veyst nit,
Zol atsindert visn:
Vi shver un biter,
Karg un shiter
S'kumt undz on der bisn..
Hey, lebedik freylekh
Lebedik freylekh
Vos iz do der khidesh?
Melokhe-melukhe,
Zingt bimnukhe
A lidele a yidshs!
Bin Ikh mir a stolerl,
Ruft men mikh reb Fishl,
Kh'makh a tir, a fentsterl
A benkele, a tishl.
Tanst un zingt mayn zegele,
Shnaydndik di bretlekh,
Baputsn vet dokh undzer mi
Derfelekh un shtetlekh!
Vern hent un fis mir shver,
Hiket tsu der hibel,
Un dos harts klemt mikh zeyer
Hot nit keyn faribl!..
Refren: Ver se veyst nit..
Bin ikh mir a shnayderl,
Ruft men mikh reb Berl
Ney ikh mitn needle,
Shnayd ikh mitn sherl.
Pres ikh mitn presale
Shtep mit dem mashindl,
Fartikt zikh a malbishl
Farn nogids zindl..
Oysgeputst dos nogidl,
Iz es moley simkhe,
Nor dem shnayders yoyreshl
Hungern iz a mimkhe..
Refren: Ver se veyst nit..
Bin ikh mir a shusterl,
Klap ikh mir a flekl
Ongeton a fartekhl,
Darf ikh nit keyn rekl..
Zits ikh oyfn benkele,
Tantst bay mir der hamer
Hob ikh nit keyn shtibele,
Voyn ikh in a kamer.
Gist un gist a regndl,
Vakst un vakst di blote
Zits ikh oyfn benkele,
Un lateve a late.
Voyl iz dem vos iz a shuster,
In aza pogode
Mont dos vayb bay mir oyf pite
Kh'makh zikh keloy yode.
Ver se veyst nit.
