| S'iz a krants faran. | Like a wreath upon. |
| Ligt er, hert nit, zet nit, | He lies there, does not see or hear, |
| Dukht zikh shloft atsind, – | He seems to be asleep; |
| Vigt der vint a verbe, | A breeze blows through a willow, |

| Zikh mit dir gefreyt, | With you I rejoiced, |
| Itst iz alts farloyrn, | But everything is lost now, |
| S'keyver dayns iz greyt. | For your grave awaits. |
