lyrics

(Yiddish followed by English)

Mayn neshome iz aroysgefloygn
In der vinterdik-opkilndike nakht
Tsu a kholem vos kh’hob nit gezen,
Tsu an epes vos kh’hob oysgetrakht.

Tsi to dayne oygn, tsi to shtern –
Laykhtn mit milyonen shtraln.
Un ikh ken a nign hern
Vos di shtern zingen bes zey faln.

Un der tsarter nign iz arayngefloygn,
S’hot geshtralt di velt mit zayne tonen.
Un ikh plutsling hob derzen
Mayn shtot in a blaser likht fun der levone.

* * *
My soul flew away
In a winter-freezing night
To a dream which I’d never seen,
To something I imagined.

Your eyes… or the stars –
They shine with millions of rays,
And I can hear a tune
Which the stars sing while they are falling.

And the tender tune flew back inside,
It rayed up the world with its tones.
And all of a sudden I saw
My home town in the withered moonlight.
