1.
On a small lane, unaware
Dreams old house lazily,
There, in tiny loft upstairs
Lives my precious Reyzele.
Every evening passing near,
I walk rounds and hum,
Whistle and call: “Reyzl, dear,
Come, come, come.”
2.
Startled by the window tinkle
Sleepy house wakes to see
How stars in heavens twinkle
When my Reyzl answers me.
Lo, I hear the angel’s sounds:
“Wait, soon I’ll be free,
Walk, my love, few more rounds,
One, two, three.”
3.
I keep marching glad and happy,
Crack the hazelnuts and sing:
Reyzl’s little feet are tapping-
Down the stairs with gentle ding.
There she jumps - I hug her now,
Heart beats like a drum,
And I kiss her on the brow:
“Come, come, come!”
4.
“I must tell you, David dear,
Never whistle in my lane.
Mama gets upset - says: “Hear,
He is whistling there again.”
Whistling, she says, isn’t Jewish,,
Others do - not we!”
Better signal me in Yiddish:
One, two, three
5.
I will whistle no more.
And for you, my love, I vow
To become a temple goer
And be virtuous, starting now.
Promise – I will never bother
You, I shall become
Pious just like your dear mother.
Come, come, come!
6.
I believe you, thanks a million,
And as gift for you I’ll knit:
A nice bag to carry tfil’n*,
With Magen David on it.
When in temple they will see it
Say “It’s made for me
By my Reyzl, kind and sweet.”
One, two, three.”
7.
Thank you for the gift, again
Reyzele I love you deeply,
Love your mama, love this lane,
Love this house with its people.
Love the steep stairs that so easy,
You can overcome.
Hear, your Mama's calls, she’s busy:
Come, come, come
8.
Walking home, glad and happy,
I crack hazelnuts and sing;
My dear Reyzl’s feet are tapping
Up the stairs with gentle ding.
Yet again, the house is dreamy,
Quiet it’s become,
Reyzl come in dreams to see me,
