Meydl, meydl, kh'vil bay dir fregn,
Vos ken vaksn, vaksn on regn?
Vos ken brenen un nit oyfhern?
Vos ken benken, veynen on trern?

((chorus))

Narisher bokher, vos darfstu fregn? 
A shteyn ken vaksn, vaksn on regn. 
Libe ken brenen un nit oyfhern. 
A harts ken benken, veynen on trern.

Vos iz hekher fun a hoyz?

Vos iz tifer fun a kval? 
Vos iz biter, biterer vi gal?

A koymen iz hekher fun a hoyz. 
A kats iz flinker fun a moyz. 
Di toyre iz tifer fun a kval. 
Der toyt iz biter, biterer vi gal.

Translation:

A young lad stands, and he thinks 
Thinks and thinks the whole night through 
Whom to take and not to shame 
Whom to take and not to shame

((chorus))
Tumbala, Tumbala, Tumbalalaika 
Tumbala, Tumbala, Tumbalalaika 
Tumbalalaika, strum balalaika 
Tumbalalaika, may we be happy

Girl, girl, I want to ask of you 
What can grow, grow without rain? 
What can burn and never end? 
What can yearn, cry without tears?

((chorus))

Foolish lad, why do you have to ask? 
A stone can grow, grow without rain 
Love can burn and never end 
A heart can yearn, cry without tears

((chorus))

What is higher than a house? 
What is swifter than a mouse? 
What is deeper than a well? 
What is bitter, more bitter than gall?

((chorus))

A chimney is higher than a house 
A cat is swifter than a mouse 
The Torah is deeper than a well 
Death is bitter, more bitter than gall

((chorus))
