S’brent, briderlekh, s’brent. Oy, undzer orem shtetl, nebekh brent! Beyze vintn mit irguzun Raysn, brekhn un tseblozn, Alts arum shoyn brent!
Refren: Un ir shteyt un kukt azoy zikh Mit farleygte hent! Un ir shteyt un kukt azoy zikh Vi undzer shtetl brent… S’brent, briderkekh, s’brent! Oy, undzer orem shtetl, nebekh, brent! S’hobn shoyn di fayer-tsungen Dos gantse shtetl ayngeshlungen- Un di beyze vintn hudzshen, Undzer shtetl brent!

S’brent, briderlekh, s’brent! Di hilf iz nor in aykh gevendt. Oyb dos shtetl iz aykh tayer, Nemt di keyln, lesht dos fayer, Lesht mit ayer eygn blut Bavayzt, az ir dos kent!
Refren: Shteyt nisht, brider, ot azoy zikh, Mit farleygte hent, Shteyt nit, brider, lesht dos fayer, Undzer shtetl brent!
