| Shvues, libe kinderlekh, | Shavuot, dear children, |
| Shvues iz gekumen, | Shavuot has come, |
| Baflokhtn mit girlyandes grins | Entwined in green garlands, |
| Bakranst mit frishe blumen. | Crowned with fresh flowers. |
| S'geyt zumer-leb, es shaynt un klingt | Summer awakens, shining, ringing, |
| In vald, in feld, in gortn, | In forests, fields and gardens, |
| S'flien, flien feygelekh | Birds fly |
| Un zingen shire dortn. | And sing songs there. |
| Der liber griner yontev geyt - | Beloved, green festival - |
| Zman matan toyroseynu! | When our Torah was given to us! |
