Miriam Seshadri. Free for personal use, Shteyt a bokher un er trakht, Tumbala, tumbala,tumbalalayka, Meydl, meydl kh'vel bay dir fregn. A shteyn kon vaksn, vaksn on regn. A libe kon brenen un nit oyfhern A harts kon veynen benken on trern. Chorus English Version A young man wonders how he will find, A girl who is gentle, loving and kind. Many the maidens, bright are their eyes, How shall he know the one who is wise? Tumbala, tumbala,tumbalalayka, Tumbala, tumbala, tumbalalayka. Tumbalalayka, play balalayka. Tumbalalayka, let's be happy. Maiden, maiden can you explain What can grow and never need rain? Which is the fire that burns through the years Where is the sorrow deeper than tears? Chorus Listen, listen as I reply A stone can grow and always be dry Love that is true will burn through the years, And when a heart cries, it cries without tears. Tum Balalayka |
