YAMALEH - A SONG MY MOTHER SANG TO ME - LEST WE FORGET

 

 

Yamaleh, Yamaleh,

Zing meir a lideleh

Voos dus maideleh vill.

 

Dus maideleh vill a poor shichelach hooben,

Miz min gayen der sheester zoogen.

 

Nein Mahmeh, nein,

Dee kenst meir nisht fahrshtein

Dee bist a shlechte Mahmeh,

Dee kenst meir nisht fahrshtein

 

Yamaleh, Yamaleh,

Zing meir a liedele,

Voos dus maideleh vill.

 

Dee maidaleh vill a chusent hooben,

Miz min gayen dee Rebbe zugen.

 

Yah! Mahmeh, Yah!

Dee kenst meir yetst fahrshtein

Dee bist a gooteh Mahmeh

Dee kenst meir shoine fahrshtein.
