der mames tfile

tsind ikh likht
shabes, yontef,
her ikh in dem roysh fun flamen,
yene shtile,
reyne tfile,
fun der guter liber mamen:

	hit mayn kind,
	hit dayn trot!
	gedenk dayn folk,
	gedenk dayn got!

yogn vintn,
yorn geyen,
es khvalyet
dos lebn a shpil,
emes, in veg gelegn
fil shteyner
un derner shtekhike fil.

nor shtendik bagleyt,
say in layd,
say in freyd,
hot mir der mames gebot.

	hit mayn kind,
	hit dayne trit!
	gedenk dayn folk,
	un dayn got.

tsind ikh likht,
shabes, yontef,
her ikh in dem roysh fun flamen,
yene shtile,
dayne tfile,
fun der guter liber mamen . . .
