Lyrics in Yiddish:
I. In a pub in Machane Yehuda market, in the city of Jerusalem,
A clarinet is blowing, o Lord!
It plays the blues so beautifully!

ref: But playing in love with you,
Is what I like the most,
I like it even more,
then all the clarinets on earth!

II. In Musrara neighborhood one can learn to sing Turkish music
Where singing the right ornament is of a highest importance.

ref: But playing in love with you is what I like the most,
I like it even more then all the trills and tunes on earth!

III. When you pass by a tea house,
You can listen to Fairouz,
Not far from Damascus Gate
In the city of Jerusalem

ref: But playing in love with you
Is what I like the most,
More then all the gates of all the palaces on earth!
