Shtil lomir ale farshvindn, koym nor der ovnt dervakht
goldik di shtern zikh tsindn, forn avek rnit der nakht.

Lomir zayn glaykh tsu dit shtern, shvimen mir ale avek.
Shtil, es zol keyner nit hern -- 
shtarbn dokh kinder fun shrek.

2. Zey
 (Sung text)
Language: Yiddish (יידיש) 
Zey zenen dort, oy Got, geven a sakh, a sakh, 
Azelkhe lebedike un azelkhe brave, Azelkhe shtaltne,
berdike un kutsherave -- Un mit a vunderliker
oysterlisher shprakh.

Un zingen flegn zey fun unter yedn dakh
Azelkhe hoferdike lider un tshikave: 
Fun melekh eli-melekh un der sheyner pave, 
Mit mayver-sidre-trop un tsimblen fun tenakh.

Nor iber zeyer kop-di zun hot nor gezen 
Di roye gvald, dem kaltn meser baym retseyekh,
Vi er iz ibar zey arop, mit vildn koyekh,
Un s'ara merderay iz dort geven! 
Itst zenen zey a zekher nor fun yener gvald: 
A tsvey-dray beymer fun an oysgehaktn vald.

 (Sung text)
Language: Yiddish (יידיש) 
Kh'hob fargesn fargesn ale libste,
Kh'hob farlozt mayn eygn hoyz; 
Kh'hob dem yam zikh opgegebn; 
Trog mikh, yam, tsum muters shoys.

Un du, mayrev-vint getrayer, 
Trayb mayn shif tsu yenem breg,
Vos mayn harts mit odler-fligl
Zukht shoyn lang tsu im a veg.

Breng mikh nor ahin besholem, --
Nokh dem fli zikh dir tsurik, 
Grisn zolstu ale libste
Un dertseyl zey fun mayn glik.
