Suzi Stern - Oyfn Pripetchok
Beautiful song, beautifully performed by Suzi Stern
The lyrics (thanks to HARM633):
Oif'n pripichok brent a fayerl.
Un in stub iz heys,
Un der rebe lernt
Kleyne kinderlekh
Dem alef-beys.
Un der rebe lernt
Kleyne kinderlekh
Dem alef-beys.
Refrain:
Zet-zhe kinderlekh,
Gedenkt-zhe, tayere, vos ir lernt do,
Zogt-zhe nokh amol un take nokh amol:
Komets-alef: o!
Lernt, kinder, mit groys kheyshek,
Azoy zog ikh aykh on,
Ver s'vet gikher fun aykh kenen ivre,
Der bakumt a fon.
Ver s'vet gikher fun aykh kenen ivre,
Der bakumt a fon.
Refrain
Lernt kinder, hot nit moyre,

Glicklech iz der vos hot gelrnt toyre
Tsi darf der mentsh noch mer?
Glicklech iz der vos hot gelrnt toyre
Tsi darf der mentsh noch mer?
Refrain
Ir vet kinder, elter vern,

vifil in di oyseyes lign trern
un vifil geveyn.

Az ir vet, kinder, dem goles shlepn,

Zolt ir fun di oysyes koyekh shepn,
Kukt in zey arayn!
Zolt ir fun di oysyes koyekh shepn,
Kukt in zey arayn!
