Lyrics translation by Michael Alpert:

What do Jews like?
What do Jews like?
Let me hear the answer right out loud:
Jews love a tune, a melody,
A tsimbl and a violin,
Jews just love those songs from long ago.

Chorus:
Oho! Look how hill and dale are on the rise!
With melody with violin
With the tsimbl and with song
The song from long ago goes on and on.

Whispers nearly lost,
Sounds not yet born,
Want to resound until the smoke rises
With melody, with violin,
With the tsimbl and with song
Honored guests at the party, one and all.

Chorus: Oho, ...

Everyone lining up
Waiting for the nightingale
Just to catch a warble from his voice
A mere peep of a melody,
A tsimbl and a violin,
A morsel of a song from long ago.

Chorus: Oho, ...

So get into the circle dance
Whoever has a voice to raise
And we'll play it once and yet again
With melody, with violin,
With the tsimbl and with song
The song from long ago cooks on and on.
