Альт
 Эле-старьевщик, надел халат.
 К приставу дочка ушла, говорят

Тенор
 Цирелэ, дочка, вернись к отцу,
 Дам тебе платьев нарядных к венцу.
 Цирелэ, дочка,
 Серьги и кольца куплю тебе сам.
 Цирелэ, дочка,
 И на придачу красавчика дам.
 Цирелэ, дочка!

Альт
 Не надо мне нарядов,
 Не надо мне колец,
 Лишь с господином приставом
 Пойду я под венец.

|  Господин пристав,
|  Прошу вас, скорее
|  Гоните в шею
|  Старого еврея.
|
|Тенор:
|  Цирелэ, дочка! Вернись к отцу!
|  Цирелэ, дочка! Вернись к отцу!
 Вернись ко отцу, вернись к отцу...
 Цирелэ, дочка!
