Abi Gezunt from Wandering Laughter by Wandering Laughter

A bisl zun a bisl regn
A ruik ort dem kop tsu leygn
Abi gezunt ken men gliklekh zayn

A shikh a zok a kleyd on lattes
In keshene a dray fir zlotes
Abi gezunt ken men gliklekh zayn

Di luft iz fray far yedn glaykh
Di zun zi shaynt far yedn eynem orem oder raykh

A bisl freyd a bisl lakhn
A mol mit fraynt a shnepsl makhn
Abi gezunt ken men gliklekh zayn

A bisl zun a bisl regn
A ruik ort dem kop tsu leygn
Abi gezunt ken men gliklekh zayn

A shikh a zok a kleyd on lattes
In keshene a dray fir zlotes
Abi gezunt ken men gliklekh zayn

Di luft iz fray far yedn glaykh
Di zun zi shaynt far yedn eynem orem oder raykh

A bisl freyd a bisl lakhn
A mol mit fraynt a shnepsl makhn
Abi gezunt ken men gliklekh zayn

Eyner zugt ashires
Eyner zugt gevires
Aynemen di gantse velt
Eyner meynt dos gantse glik
Hengt nor op in gelt
Zoln ale zikhn
Zoln ale crikhn
Nor ikh trakht bay mir
Ikh darf dos oyf kapores vayl dos glik shteyt bay mayn tir

(violin solo)

A bisl freyd a bisl lakhn
A mol mit fraynt a shnepsl makhn
Abi gezunt ken men gliklekh zayn

A little sun, a little rain
A quiet place to rest one's head
As long as you're healthy, you can be happy

A shoe, a sock, clothing without patches
In the pockets three or four zlotes
As long as you're healthy, you can be happy

The air is free for everyone equally
The sun, it shines for everyone, poor or rich

A little joy, a little laughter
A time with friends to drink some schnapps
As long as you're healthy, you can be happy

Some seek riches
Some seek power
To rule the whole world
Some think that all the happiness
Depends upon money
Let them all search
Let them all crawl
I think to myself,
I have no use for all that because happiness is at my door
