Yam‑lid

Language: Yiddish

Kh'hob fargesn fargesn ale libste,
Kh'hob farlozt mayn eygn hoyz;
Kh'hob dem yam zikh opgegebn;
Trog mikh, yam, tsum muters shoys.

Un du, mayrev-vint getrayer,
Trayb mayn shif tsu yenem breg,
Vos mayn harts mit odler-fligl
Zukht shoyn lang tsu im a veg.

Breng mikh nor ahin besholem, --
Nokh dem fli zikh dir tsurik,
Grisn zolstu ale libste
Un dertseyl zey fun mayn glik.
