Children, we have now simchas torah It's simchas torah all over the world Torah is the best treasure --At least that's what the rabbi says.
Oy, oy, oy oy oy Be happy children, that's the way Coins are coming from everywhere Be happy, don't stop.
Although I'm just a poor little Jew, Who's loaded down with cares, On simkhes-toyre I sing a song - And I take a drink or two
Dvoyre, get me my new kapote I'm going to put it on right now I want to tell you: nothing else matters As long as you've got, thank God, your health.
Dvoyre, give me another glass Of our special-occasion wine. What are you so down in the mouth for? Let all my enemies slide straight into hell!
Oy vey, Dvoyre, what are you afraid of? That I'm a little happy, shaky on me feet? Darling Dvoyre on simkhes-toyre Who isn't happy, you tell me!
Is it the streets that are spinning with me? Is it the house that's doing the same? All right, Dvoyre, Now that you've had a few God bless you, life is sweet.
Simkhes-toyre, a gift from God - Let's always keep it holy. Even the moon and the stars Have gone off to drink some wine.
