lyrics

In dem beys-hamikdash in a vinkl kheyder,
Zitst di almone Bas-Tsiyon aleyn;
Ir ben-yokhidl Yidelen vigt zi keseyder,
Un zingt im tsum shlofn
a lidele sheyn.

Unter Yideles vigele,
Shteyt a klor vays tsigele,
Dos tsigele iz geforn handlen,
Dos vet zayn dayn baruf:
Rozhinkes mit mandlen;
Shlof zhe Yidele, shlof;
Shlof zhe Yidele, shlof.

Az du vest vern raykh Yidele,
Zolstu zikh dermonen in dem lidele: Rozhinkes mit mandlen -
Dos vet zayn dayn baruf,
Yidele vet ales handlen;
Shlof zhe Yidele, shlof;
Shlof zhe Yidele, shlof.

---------------------------------

(translation)

In the holy temple, in a dark room
Sits the widowed daughter of Zion, alone;
Rocking her only son, her dear little Jewish boy,
She sings him to sleep with
A beautiful little melody.

Beneath Yidele's cradle
Stands a pure-white kid,
The kid has gone trading -
That will be your calling -
Raisins and almonds,
Sleep, Yidele, sleep.
Sleep, Yidele, sleep.

When you grow rich, Yidele,
May you remember this melody,
Raisins and almonds -
This will be your calling,
Yidele will trade with everything.
Sleep, Yidele, sleep!
Sleep, Yidele, sleep!
