а CHORUS

English:

Play for me a little song in Yiddish,
May it wake joy and not surprises.
So everyone, old and young can understand it.
From mouth to mouth the little song will go!

A song without sighs and without tears.
Play the way that all can hear.
So all can see, I'm alive, and can sing
More beautifully even, and better than before.

CHORUS:
Oy, oy, oy, Play, play, Klezmer (musician) Play,
You know what I think of, and what I want.
Play, play, play a little song for me.
Play a little song with heart and with feeling.

Play for me a tune about refugees.
From a people widely scattered and spread.
So children large and small will be able to understand
And even do a little dance.

Play for me a song of peace.
Let there be peace already, not just a dream.
So nations great and small can understand it.
Without battles and without wars they will engage.
