Di mame kokht varenikes
Un ikh bin gor fleyshik,
Derze ikh a sheyn meydele,
Krig ikh tsu ir kheyshek.
Mir gefelt dos meydele,
Mayn mame in der mit;
Ikh hob lib dos meydele,
Mayn mame vil dokh nit.
Sheyn iz dos meydele
Vi di gantse velt,
Nor a khisorn hot zi dokh:
Zi hot gor nit keyn gelt ...
Gelt iz dokh kaylekhik,
Es kayklt zikh avek;
Nem ikh mir mayn meydele
Un for mit ir avek.
Ikh for mit ir avek
In der shtot Adess,
Ikh shtel mit ir a khupe
In eyn mesles.
Mother’s cooking pastries
Mother‘s cooking varenikes*
But I have just eaten meat.
I see a pretty young girl,
And wish to be with her.
I like the girl,
But my mother‘s interfering;
I love the girl,
But my mother doesn‘t.
The girl is as beautiful
as the whole world.
She just has one disadvantage:
She doesn‘t have any money.
Money is round,
It rolls away;
I‘m taking my girl
And going away with her.
I‘m going away with her
to the city of Odessa,
I‘m going to stand under the khupah
with her very soon.
*varenikes = cheese-filled pastries
Mama varí... (prebásnil Ján Štrasser)
Mama varí kašu s mliekom,
no už som jedol mäso.
Vidím veľmi peknú devu,
škoda, že s ňou nie som.
Je to veľmi pekné dievča,
milé, úprimné.
Ľúbim toto pekné dievča,
no mama vraví: nie!
Je to taká pekná deva
ako celý svet,
má len jednu nevýhodu,
groší u nej niet.
Peniaze sú guľaté,
o chvíľu sú v ťahu.
A ja vezmem za ruku
devu moju drahú,
odídem s ňou ďaleko,
pravda je raz taká:
odídeme do Odesy,
kde nás chupa čaká.

This is how it sounds in original pronunciation (I would stick to your heritage and originality not made up "klal shprakh"
Di mame kokht varenikes
In ikh bin gur fleyshik,
Derzey ikh a sheyn meydele,
Krig ikh tsi ir kheyshek.
Mir gefelt dus meydele,
Mayn mame in der mit;
Ikh hob lib dus meydele,
Mayn mame vil dokh nit.
Sheyn iz dus meydele
Vi di gantse velt,
Nor a khisurn hot zi dokh:
Zi hot gur nit keyn gelt ...

Nem ikh mir mayn meydele

Ikh fur mit ir avek
In der shtut Adess,
Ikh shtel mit ir a khipe
In eyn meysles.
