| Funem himl tsugeshikt | From heaven I've been sent |
| A matone mir, | a present, |
| Mit an oytser mikh baglikt | With a treasure I've been blessed |
| Hot got on a shir, | boundlessly by God, |
| Lihtik vert far mir mayn velt, | My world has become bright, |
| Nit fun zunenshayn, | and not from sunlight, |
| Krigt men den far oytsres gelt | Can money buy |
| A yingele vi mayn? | a little boy like mine? |
| Ver hot aza yingele, | Who's got such a little boy, |
| A malekhl a kleyns? | such a little angel? |
| Oygn vi tsvey shterndlekh, | Eyes like two stars, |
| A neshomele a reyns. | A pure little soul. |
| Liber got, ikh bet bay dir, | Dear God, I beg of you, |
| Shits un hit im op far mir. | Save and protect him for me. |
| Vakh iber mayn yingele, | Watch over my little boy, |
| A yingele a kleyns! | My little boy! |
