lyrics

Oyfn pripetshik brent a fayerl
Un in shtub iz heys,
Un der rebe lernt kleyne kinderlekh
Dem alef-beys
Un der rebe lernt kleyne kinderlekh
Dem alef-beys.
“Zet zhe kinderlekh, gedenkt zhe tayere,
Vos ir lernt do.
Zogt zhe nokh a mol un take nokh a mol:
Komets-alef- o!
Zogt zhe nokh a mol un take nokh a mol:
Az ir vet kinder elter vern
Vet ir aleyn farshteyn
Vifl in di oysyes lign trern
Un vifl geveyn,
Vifl in di oysyes lign trern
Un vifl geveyn…”


At the hearth a little fire is burning
And the room is warm,
And the rabbi is teaching small children
The Hebrew alphabet.
And the rabbi is teaching small children
The Hebrew alphabet.
“Look children, remember my dear ones,
What you are learning here.
Say again and then again:
Komets aleph is pronounced ‘O’!
Say again and then again:
Komets-alef –o!
Komets aleph is pronounced ‘O’!
When you will be older children
you will understand
How many tears lie in these letters
And how much weeping,
How many tears lie in these letters
And how much weeping..”


אױפֿן פּריפּעטשיק ברענט אַ פֿײַערל
און אין שטוב איז הײס
און דער רבי לערנט קלײנע קינדערלעך
דעם אלף־בית
און דער רבי לערנט קלײנע קינדערלעך
דעם אלף־בית.
״זעט זשע קינדערלעך, געדענקט זשע טײַערע,
װאָס איר לערנט דאָ.
זאָגט זשע נאָך אַ מאָל און טאַקע נאָך אַ מאָל:
קמץ־אלף אָ!
זאָגט זשע נאָך אַ מאָל און טאַקע נאָך אַ מאָל:
קמץ־אלף אָ!
