W: Hey du klezmer, nem dem fidl, shpil dos naye lidl,
W:     tantsn vet men dem nayem sher.
W: In a karahod men dreyt zikh, un dos harts derfreyt zikh,
W:     nor ven men tantst dem nayem sher.
W:
W: Hekher, hekher, biz di stelye, shpringt der zeyde, elye.
W:     Es vilt zikh lebn im vos mer.
W: Un di bobe, sosye kvelt fun nakhes, sonim af tselokhes,
W:     tantsn vet men dem nayem sher.
W:
W: Nu, zet, nor zet vi yeder freyt zikh
W:     un vi men dreyt zikh, un men tupet mit di fis.
W: Dos harts tsegeyt nor tansn bet zikh
W:     vayl ven men tantst vert, dan dos lebn azoy zis.
W:
W: Freylekh zayn atsind darfn mir ale; troyerik zayn dos vet men shoyn nit mer
W: vayl bazetsn vet men bald di kale, un tantsn vet men gor dem nayem sher.
W:
W: Vos toygn ale dayges, ale zorgn, afn hartsn ven es iz dir shver?
W: beser, brider, hofn az biz morgn veln ale in eynem tantsn dem nayem sher!
