A famous Yiddish love song:

lyrics

Sheyn vi di levone,
Likhtig vi di shtern,
Fun himl a matone,
Hostu mikh tsugeshikt;

Mayn glik hob ikh gevinen,
Ven ikh hob dikh gefinen,
Du shaynst vi toyznt zinen,
Host mayn harts baglikt.

Dayne tseyndelekh,
Vayse perelekh,
Mit dayne sheyne oygn,
Dayne kheyndelekh, dayne herelekh,
Host mikh tsugetsoygn;

Sheyn vi di levone,
Likhtig vi di shtern,
Fun himl a matone
Hostu mikh tsugeshikt.

(translation)

As beautiful as the moon,
As radiant as the stars,
You are gift sent
From heaven to me.

What a fortune of happiness I won
When I found you
You shine like a thousand stars
Rejoicing my heart.

Your pretty teeth
Like little white pearls
And your beautiful eyes,
Your lovely manner, and your hair
Have so attracted me to you.

As beautiful as the moon,
As radiant as the stars,
You are gift sent
From heaven to me.
