| Yiddish - OVER YONDER |
| |
|
Far away, across the water
Far away, over the bridge,
You've driven me to distant lands
And I long for your return.
How many evenings we spent together
How many evenings late into the night
And how many tears we both shed
Till we were reunited in love.
Oh God, help me, God in heaven,
Help me, dear God, things are not well with me.
For 3 years already we play out our love
Yet we can't fulfill our love.
Oh, your eyes, like black cherries,
And your lips like rose-coloured paper,
Your fingers like pen and ink
Oh write frequent letters to me.
