lyrics
Shpil zhe mir a lidele in Yiddish
Dervekn zol es freyd un nisht keyn khidesh,
Az ale, groys un kleyn, zoln kenen dos farsteyn,
Fun moyl tsu moyl dos lidele zol geyn!

Refrain:
Shpil, shpil, klezmerl, shpil.
Veyst dokh vos ikh meyn un vos ikh vil –
Shpil, shpil, shpil a lidele far mir,
Shpil a lidele mit harts un mit gefil!

A lidele on ziftsn un on trern,
Shpil azoy az ale zoln hern,
Az ale zoln zen - ikh leb un zingen ken
Shener nokh un beser vi geven.

Shpil zhe mir a lidele fun sholem!
Zol shoyn zayn sholem, nit keyn kholem!
Az felker, groys un kleyn, zoln kenen dos farshteyn,
On krig un on milkhomes zikh bageyn.

Lomir zingen s’lidele tsuzamen
Vi gute fraynd, vi kinder fun eyn mamen!
Mayn eyntsiker farlang, s’zol klingen fray un frank
In alemens gezang, oykh mayn gezang!

TRANSLATION:
Play me a little song in Yiddish
May it wake joy and no surprises,
So everyone, young and old, can understand it.
Let the song go from mouth to mouth!

Refrain:
Play, musicians, play –
You know what I have in mind and what I want.
Play a little song for me –
Play a little song with heart and feeling.

A song without sighs and without tears –
Play so everyone can hear it,
So everyone can see I’m alive and I can sing
Even better and more beautifully than before.

Play me a little song about peace!
Let there be peace already, let it not be dream!
So nations great and small can understand it,
And not engage in battles and wars.

Let’s sing the little song together like good friends,
Like children of one mother.
My only request is that it out freely and honestly,
In everyone’s song, my song too!
