Arum dem Fayer
Arum dem fayer
Mir zingen lider,
Di nakht iz tayer,
Men vert nit mider.
Un zol der fayer
Farloshn vern
Shaynt oyf der himl
Mit zayne shtern.
To kroynt di kep
Mit blumen-krantsn -
Arum dem fayer
Mir’n freylekh tantsn.
Vayl tants un lid
lz undzer lebn,
Dernokh in shlof -
Khaloymes shvebn
AROUND THE FIRE
Around the fire
we sing songs.
The night is dear
no one is getting tired.
And should the fire
go out,
heaven will light us
with its stars.
So crown your heads
with wreaths of flowers -
around the fire
we’ll dance happily.
Because dance and song
is our life,
and afterwards, in sleep,
our dreams will soar.
