Lyrics

Hobn mir a nigndl
In nakhes un in freydn
Zingen mir es bay di zmires
Klingt es azoy sheyn.
Dos hot dokh gezungen di boben mitn zeydn
Ven zey zaynen kinder nokh geven.

Refrain:
Oy oy oy
Ot azoy, zhe vider nign klingt atsinder,
Aza freylekh aza sheyner,
Zingt zhe, kinder!
Ot azoy zhe vider nign klingt atsinder
Aza freylekh lomir ale geyn

Hobn mir a nigndl
Zing mir es tzuzamen,
Zingen mir es bay di zmires
Klingt es azoy sheyn.
Dos hob nokh gezungen di tatn mitn mamen
Ven zey zaynen kinder nokh geven.

refrain.

Hobn mir a nigndl
mit mazl un mit brokhe,
Zingen mir es bay di zmires
Klingt es azoy sheyn.
Dos hob nokh gezungen di gantze mishpokhe
Ven mir zaynen kinder nokh geven.

refrain

We know a tune for joy and happiness. We always sing it.
It sounds so lively.
Our grandpa and grandma used to sing it when they were
little children.

This is our tune, our lively tune.
It bring joy and happiness.
Sing, children, this lovely tune and be cheerful.

We know a tune for joy and happiness. We always sing it.
All our relations used to sing it when they were little
children.

Refrain.
