lyrics

Di yidn fun der alter velt,
Azoy vi di boksers,
Sopen oyf di shtrikn.
Umetum un alemol
Iz es azoy geven:
Zint Bovl, zint Roym,
Zint ur-alte Persiye…

Khotsh men farshpilt,
Gevint men;
Khotsh men gevint,
Farshpilt men…

Azoy iz es, afile in der goldener shtot
Fun Colombuses Goldene Medine –
NEW YORK…. AMERIKE!


The Jews of the old world
Like boxers,
Are panting on the ropes.
Everywhere and forever
It has been like this:
Since Babylon, since Rome,
Since ancient Persia….

Even though you lose,
You win;
Even though you win,
You lose…

That’s how it is, even in the golden city
Of Columbus’s Golden Land –
NEW YORK… AMERICA!
