lyrics

Zint ikh bin tsu mayn seykhl gekumen
Oy, azoy bin ikh fun der libe farbrent
In mayn hartsn, oy, brent a hellish fayer
Rateven kon mikh keyner nit.

Dayne tsvey shvartsinke eygelekh
Mit dayn kepele shvartse hor…
Vi a magnet hostu mikh tsugetsoygn
Yetst kirtstu mir mayne yor.

Vu zhe nemt men a dokter a gutn
Er zol mir gen a refue tsu mayn harts
Er zol mir gebn a retsept, oy vey, a gutn
Er zol zayn tsu maynem shmarts

M’hot mir geredt kales mit nadn
Un mit kleyder, un mit a sakh gelt.
Vi a magnet hostu mikh tsugetsoygn,
Yetst gey ikh durkh dir fun der velt


TRANSLATION:
As long as I can remember
Oh, I’ve been burned by love
An infernal fire burns in my heart
No one can save me.

Your two black eyes
And your head of black hair…
You attracted me like a magnet
Now you shorten my years.

Where can one find a good doctor
Who can give me a cure for my heart
He should give me a prescription, oh well, a good one
He should take care of my pain

They’ve proposed fiancés with dowries
And with clothes, and a lot of money.
You attracted me like a magnet
Now through you I will leave this world
