Song Text

Dort in Bukavine, nit vayt funem veldl,
Pashet Maryashe a stade in feldl:
||: Un zi veynt, un zi zingt:
Vu zaynen mayne groyse oksn, Zogt es mir! :||

Yasha iz durkhn feld adurkh gegangen,
Hot er gehert Maryashes gezangen:
||: Meydale, vos iz dir?
Tsu feln dir dayne groyse oksn? Zog es mir! :||

Ven du vest mayne oksn gefinen,
Vestu fun mir a kush bakimen!
||: Nit nor eyns, nit nor tsvey
Nor nayn-un-nayntsik (99) kushn, keseyder eyns nokh eyns. :||

Yashe hot gevolt zayn loyn fardinen,
Iz er gegangen di oksn gefinen.
||: Meydale, fardint mayn loyn:
Host tsugezogt a kush gebn – gib im shoyn! :||

Volt mayn mame oyfn shvel nit geshtanen,
Iz ba mir keyn lign nit faranen.
||: Meydale, shakrente:
Host tsugezogt un nit gegebn – tsiganke! :||
