[Verse 2]
A
Yesterday is buried, mourn it on the morrow.
A
Here is but ephemeral bliss, ruin it not with sorrow.
A
Grab yourself a bottle, while you still can swallow.
A
You won’t cop a single drop in the world to follow.

[Verse 3]
A
Hulyet hulyet brider, varft mit bord un poles,
A
Ot azoy, ot azoy tantst a yid in goles
A
Brothers wail and howl, let your beard be wild.
A
That’s the way to dance away sorrow and exile.
