The Klezmatics Di Sapozhkelekh Lyrics

Farkoyfn di zaposhkelekh un forn oyf di droshkelekh,
abi mit dir in eynem tsu zayn.

Oy ikh on dir un du on mir, vi a klyamke on a tir,
ketsele feygele mayn.

Oy feyn oyf di vagzolekhlekh, un farkoyfn fremde
sholekhlekh, abi mit dir in eynem tsu zayn.

Oy, ikh on dir un du on mir ,vi a klyamke on a tir,
ketsele feygele mayn.

Oy shlofn on a kishele, un ezn on a tishele,
abi mit dir in eynem tsu zayn.

Oy, ikh on dir un du on mir ,vi a klyamke on a tir,
ketsele feygele mayn.

Oy shlofn oyf di vagzolekhlekh un vashn fremde
polekhlekh, abi mit dir in eynem tsu zayn.

Oy, ikh on dir un du on mir ,vi a klyamke on a tir,
ketsele feygele mayn.

The Boots

"I sell my boots
and go with you on a coach
just to be with you
as you are a handleless door
without me
my sweet little bird
I will sell handkerchieves
at the railroad station
just to be with you as you are a handleless door
without me
my sweet little bird
I will eat without a table
sleep without a pillow
just to be with you...
I will sleep at the railroad station
and wash a floor there
just to be with you..."
