| mit harts un gefil. | with her heart and feeling. |

| fun Itskhok un Yankev, | Isaac and Jacob, |
| Farnem dokh mayn tfile | Take my prayer |
| in himls geselt! | into Heaven's tabernacle! |
| Un shik mir parnose, | And send me sustenance, |
| un rikht oyf mayn mazl, | and good luck, |
| un likhtik zol vern | and brighten |
| mayn fintstere velt! | my dark world! |
