SHEYN VI DI LEVONE

שײן ווי די לבנה 


Sheyn vi di levone,
Likhtik vi di shtern,
Fun himl a matone,
Bistu mir tzugeshikt!
vayl/mayn glik hob ikh gevunen,
Ven ikh hob dikh gefunen,
Sheyn vi toyznt zunen
hostu/hot mayn hartz baglikt.

Chorus
Dayne tzeyndelekh,
vays vi perelekh,
Mit dayne sheyne oygn,
Dayne heyndelekh, dayne herelekh,
Hot mikh tzugetzoygn.


Der moykh is mir tzumisht,
Ikh gey arum tzukhisht,
Khveys aleyn nit vos ikh vil,
Ikh shem zikh, ikh bin royt.
Di tzung is bay mir toyt,
Ikh ken nit zogn, vos ikh vil,
Du bist arayn tzu mir,
In hartzn oyf kvartir.
Khtrakh vi tzu zogn dir,
Az du bist...

Sheyn vi di levone,
Likhtik vi di shtern,
Fun himl a matone,
Bistu mir tzugeshikt!
vayl/mayn glik hob ikh gevunen,
Ven ikh hob dikh gefunen,
Sheyn vi toyznt zunen
hostu/hot mayn hartz baglikt.

Yiddish - AS BEAUTIFUL AS THE MOON

 

As beautiful as the moon,
As radiant as the stars,
You are sent from heaven
As a gift to me.
I won good fortune
When I found you
As beautiful as a thousand suns
You have rejoiced my heart.

Chorus
Your little teeth
Like little pearls
With your beautiful eyes,
Your flirting, your hair
Attracted me.


My brain is mixed up,
I go around confused.
I myself don't know what I want.
I'm embarassed, and red-faced.
I've lost my tongue
I cannot explain what I want.
You came to me,
to remain in my heart forever.
I'm thinking how to say to you
that you are...

As beautiful as the moon,
As radiant as the stars,
You are sent from heaven
As a gift to me.
I won good fortune
When I found you
As beautiful as a thousand suns
You have rejoiced my heart.
