Yidl with his fiddle

Across fields, roads,
Atop a wagon of hay
With sun and wind and rain,
Ride two musicians.
A novelty, oh a novelty,
Tell me who are they?
 
Yidl with his fiddle,
Aryeh with his bass,
This existence is a song,
Why should I be upset?
Hey, Yidl, fidl, shmidl -
This life is a joke.
 
A goat stands in the meadow
And bleats a sad 'meh!'
Hey you goat, you foolish one,
Being sad is 'feh'!
It nods its goatee beard,
'Truly, truly 'feh'!'
 
Yidl with his fiddle,
Aryeh with his bass,
This existence is a song,
Why should I be upset?
Hey, Yidl, fidl, shmidl -
This life is a joke.
 
A bird flies by, 'Good morning,
Good morning -good year!'
The sadness and the worries
Should go away with past dark years.
Laugh right in the wind's face,
Yidl Yidl, and go on!
 
Yidl with his fiddle,
Aryeh with his bass,
This existence is a song,
Why should I be upset?
Hey, Yidl, fidl, shmidl -
This life is a joke.
 

A wife, a modest one

A wife, a modest one, a hard find (is this)
Good are those who only found this
 
A clever one and a pretty one, a clean one, a pure one (oh who is this)
Whoever [s'farmugt - found?] it, they are aware of G-d
Quiet, bashful, like a [taybl], a faithful soul
With such a dear wife a man can have pleasure
A wife, a modest one, a hard find
Is like a treasure, like jewellery in the house
 
It's good to speak with you
It's good to look upon you
How you can gladden me
How you can delight me
Tease me
 
Take me to you
I fight an appetite [azsh]
I want to eat you up
 
They are good and they are nice
They are good, they are nice, what is [s'farmugt - found?]
Oy, a wife, a pretty one and a modest one
 

Potatoes

Sunday -- potatoes
Monday -- potatoes
Tuesday and Wednesday -- potatoes
Thursday and Friday potatoes
But on Shabbes something special
A potato kugel!
And Sunday -- and so on -- potatoes
 
Bread with potatoes
Meat with potatoes
Noon meal and evening meal potatoes
Here and there potatoes
But now and then, a novelty
A potato kugel!
And Sunday, the usual -- potatoes
 
Here -- potatoes
There -- potatoes
Here and there -- potatoes
There and here -- potatoes
But on Shabbes, after cholent
A potato kugel!
And Sunday, here we go again, potatoes
