Chava Alberstein singing Reizele by Mordechai Gebirtig
Yiddish lyrics
shteyt zikh dort in gesele,
shtil fartrakht a hayzele.
drinen oyfn boydem-shtibl
voynt mayn tayer reyzele
yedn ovnt farn hayzl
drey ikh zikh arum
kh’gib a fayf un ruf oys:
“reyzl, kum, kum, kum!“
efnt zikh a fentsterl
vakht oyf s’alte hayzele
un bald klingt in shtiln gesl
a zis kol, s’redt reyzele:
-- nokh a vayle vart, mayn liber,
bald vel ikh zayn fray,
gey zikh nokh a por mol iber;
eyns, tsvey, dra
