Еврейские песни (Тетрадь №2), оp.17 - 1. Tsu di royte kriger (тенор - Р. Маржизон)
Alts, vos lib iz mir un tayer, alts, vos heylik iz un no'nt alts, vos kh'hob kurkh blut un fayer, laytern biz haynt gekont,
Un farhitn, un fargreytn, un bagleytn mit mayn lid, zol zikh afn veg aykh shpreytn, zol aykh makhn gring di trit!
Yedes derfl, yedes gesl, vu ir vet nor nit arayn, eyn zakh zolt ir nit fargesn: in di oygn kukt zikh ayn.
Oyb es fleytst di freyd fun dortnshtelt di fon arop af dr'erd, nor oyb nit, zol af ir ort dan kumen shteln zikh di shverd.
Alts, vos lib iz mir un tayer, alts, vos heylik iz un no'nt alts, vos kh'hob kurkh blut un fayer, laytern biz haynt gekont,
Un farhitn, un fargreytn, un bagleytn mit mayn lid, zol zikh afn veg aykh shpreytn, zol aykh makhn gring di trit.
Перевод на английский:
Everything that I love and is dear to me, everything that is holy and close, everything that has blood and fire, everything that I've known up until today,
And to protect, and to prepare, and to beautify with my song, should spread itself out in your pathway, should make your travel easier.
Each little village, each little alleyway, wherever you go in, One thing only don't forget: in your sight keep.
If they don't greet you joyously when you put your flag in the earth, Don't worry about it, come back and stick your sword in.
Everything that I love and is dear to me, everything that is holy and close, everything that has blood and fire, everything that I've known up until today,
And to protect, and to prepare, and to beautify with my song, should spread itself out in your pathway, should make your travel easier.
