just a jewish song thanx to gavrielgavriel for his help with the english translation below It's calm like in paradise Stars over the shtetl are high and bright I sing for myself I cut for myself Night has descended Rest, children, the day was too hot Stitch after stitch It's hard to make a penny lately Chores: Oy vey There was a time when I was strong But now I'm not the same Years wore the hair out And my coat's got too shabby There was a Jew Who has mentioned once That everything passes Sun, oy vey, also falls down by the end of each day But it will be born again alas not like me Who will dress them up in style and fashion after me? My dear girl, Tomorrow at morning you will get back to me again My dear, my feigele (bird) You have sad eyes. Father will whisper a joke into your ear And you will laugh People are so different And so are the songs Next day will come and we will have food Don't hurry up to live your life Sometimes a poor man is reacher The one who did not save much The one who is not held by any obligations anymore A thread, a piece of velvet and some needles That's about it And also Talmud on a book shelf I wish my life would stay like that But I see the sun less and less often There was a time I was strong But now I'm not the same Years wore the hair out And my coat's got too shabby There was a Jew Who has mentioned once That everything passes It's calm like in paradise Stars over the shtetl are high and bright I sing for myself I cut for myself I sing for myself
