OYF'N Pripetshok and Nacht Akt(OST Список Шиндлера / Schindler's List)
Oyfn pripetshik brent a fayerl, Un in shtub iz heys. Un der rebe lernt kleyne kinderlekh Dem alef-beyz. Refrain: Zet zhe, kinderlekh, gedenkt zhe, tayere, Vos ir lernt do, Zogt zhe nokh a mol un take nokh a mol: Komets-alef: o!
Lernt, kinder, mit groys kheyshek, Azoy zog ikh aykh on, Ver s’vet gikher fun aykh kenen ivre, Der bakumt a fon.
Az ir vet, kinder, elter vern, Vet ir aleyn farshteyn, Vifl in di oysyes lign trern, Un vi fil geveyn.
Az ir vet, kinder, dem goles shlepn, Oysgemutshet zayn, Zolt ir fun di oysyes koyekh shepn, Kukt in zey arayn! ------------------------------------- >On the hearth a little fire is burning, And it is hot in the house, And the rebbe is teaching the little children. The Aleph Bet.
> Study, children, with great interest, That is what I tell you; He who'll know his lessons first, Will get a banner for a prize.
> When you get older, children, You will understand that this alphabet Contains the tears and the weeping of our people.
> When you grow weary, children And burdened with exile, You will find comfort and strength within this Jewish alphabet.
>See now children, remember dear ones, What you've learned here; repeat it again and again Aleph with kametz is \"o\"!
