TAYERE MALKE

Yiddish - DEAR MALKEH
טײַערע מלכה

Dear Malkeh,
Here's to your health!
Fill the goblet with wine
From this particular goblet,
that sparkles so beautifully
My grandfather drank.

There were bad times,
As sometimes happens,
But the goblet I held fiercely.
Oh, we will drink endlessly,
for those who have departed forever.

My dear Malkeh,
Here's to your health!
For whom shall I drink this particular wine?
Let's drink for our enemies
But don't tell them.
Malkeh, hide the goblet,
This song is finished.
