A glezele lekhayim, ez shod nit nemen haynt
Ven me zitst bay a yontevdikn tish.
A glezele lekhayim far frayndshaft un far fraynt
Me zol shtendik nor munter zayn un frish.
A glezele lekhayim far alt un yung vos zitsn do
Far yedern bazunder vos zaynen haynt mit undz nito.
A glezele lekhayim der bekher ful mit vayn
Far der zun zi zol shtendik mit undz zayn.
A glezele lekhayim may tostn mir atsind
Nor oyf simkhes bay yedern fun aykh.
A glezele lekhayim far fater un far kind
Az mit nakhes di mame zol zayn raykh.
A glezele lekhayim nit opshteyn zol fun aykh di shayn
Keyn shvartser tog in lebn in der mishpokhe zol nit zayn.
A glezele lekhayim iz oyztrinken keday
Ven me zet zikh mit fraynd oyf dos nay.
Oh no, not I! I will survive!
Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive;
I've got all my life to live,
I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive! I will survive!
A glezele lekhayim, ez shod nit nemen haynt
Ven me zitst bay a yontevdikn tish.
A glezele lekhayim far frayndshaft un far fraynt
Me zol shtendik nor munter zayn un frish.
A glezele lekhayim far alt un yung vos zitsn do
Far yedern bazunder vos zaynen haynt mit undz nito.

Far der zun zi zol shtendik mit undz zayn
A glezele lekhayim far alt un yung vos zitsn do
Far yedern bazunder vos zaynen haynt mit undz nito.
A glezele lekhayim der bekher ful mit vayn
Zi zol shtendik mit undz zayn.
