Lomir Zich Iberbetn

Lomir zich iberbetn, iberbetn

Vos shteystu bay der tir?

Lomir zich iberbetn,

Lomir zich iberbetn, iberbetn,

Koyf zhe pomarantsn,

Lomir zich iberetn,

Lomir geyen tantsn.

 

Lomir zich iberbetn iberbetn,

Lomir nisht zayn vi gojim,

Lomir zich iberetn,

Lomir hebn gnojim! 

 

Lomir zich iberbetn, iberbetn,

Lomir zich iberbetn,

Zay-zhe nisht kayn nar.

 

Lomir zich iberbetn, iberbetn,

Koyf zhe pomarantsn,

Lomir zich iberetn,

Lomir geyen tantsn.

Let us make up

Let us make up, make up,

Why are you standing by the door,

Let us make up

And come into my house.

 

Let us make up, make up,

Put the samovar,

Let us make up,

Don't be a fool.

 

Let us make up, make up,

Buy bitter oranges,

Let us make up

And let us go dancing.

 

Let us make up, make up,

Let us not be like gentiles,

Let us make up,

Let us ...

 

Let us make up, make up,

Put the samovar,

Let us make up,

Don't be a fool.

 

Let us make up, make up,

Buy bitter oranges,

Let us make up

And let us go dancing.
