Di Grine Kusine Zupfgeigenhansel

Tsu mir is gekumen a kusine
Sheyn wi gold is si gewen di grine
Bekelch wi royte pomerantsn
Fiselech wos betn sich tsum tantsn

Herelech wie saydn web gelokte
Tseyndelech wi perelech getokte
Eygelech wi himl bloy in friling
Lipelech vie karshelech a tswiling

Nisht gegangen is si nor geshprungen
Nisht gered hot si nur gesungen
Lebedik un freylech yeder mine
Ot asoy gewen is mayn kusine

Un asoy ariber senen yorn
Fun mayn kusine is a tel geworn
Peydes hot si wochenlang geklibn
Bis fun ir is gornisht mer geblibn

Haynt as ich begegn mayn kusine
Un ich freg ir s'machstu epes grine?
Sift si op un ch'leyen in ir mine
Brenen sol kolumbuses medine !
