Mayn kind, mayn treyst, du forst avek
Ze zay a zun a guter
Dikh bet mit trern un mit shrek
Dayn traye libe muter
Du forst, mayn kind, mayn eyntsik kind,
Ariber vayte yamen.
Akh kum ahin nor frish gezunt
Un nit farges dayn mamen.
Yo! For gezunt un kum mit glik,
Ze yede vokh a brivele shik,
Dayn mames harts, mayn kind, derkvik
A brivele der mamen
Zolstu nit farzamen
Shrayb geshvind, mayn lib kind
Shenk ir di nekhome,
Di mame vet dayn brivele lezn
Un zi vet genezn
Heylst ir shmerts, ir biter harts
Derkvikst ir di neshome
Dos akhte yor, ikh bin aleyn
Dos kind iz vayt farshvumen
Dos kindersh harts iz hart vi a shteyn
Kayn eyntsik briv bakumen
Vi ken mayn kind nokh hobn mut?
Vi geyt im ayn dos lebn
Ez mus im geyn dort zeyer gut
Vil er kayn nakhnikht gebn
Kh'hob im geshikt a hundert briv,
Un er hot nokh kayn shum bagrif,
Az mayne shmertsn zenen zeyer tif.
In shtot New York, a raykh hoyz
Mit hertser, on gefiln
Dort voynt ir zun er lebt gor groys
Mit a gliklekhe familye
A sheyne froy, un kinder tsvey
Mit likhtike geshtaltn
Un az er zitst un kvelt fun zey
Hot er a briv derhaltn
Dayn muter toyt! Es iz geshen,
In lebn hostu ir farzen,
Dos iz ir leste vuntsh geven
A kidishl der mamen
Zolstu nit farzamen
Zog geshvind mayn lib kind
Shenk ir di nekhome
Di mame vet dayn kadishl hern
In ir keyver gern
Heylst ir shmertz ir biter harts
Derkvikst ir di neshome
