Lyrics

Fort a fisher afn yam
Er fort aroys baginen
Es hoft der fisher, minestam
Fishelekh gefinen

Murmlen khvalyes shtil far zikh,
Der yam iz a batribter,
Tsi iz der yam azoy vi ikh,
Oykhet a farlibter?

Gey ikh mir baym breg ot do
Un tu mayn kholem shpinen
Efsher vel ikh ergets vu
Mayn libstn nokh gefinen

Kumt der fisher troyerik
Er hot keyn fish gefangen
Un ikh bin moyre-shkhoyre|dik,
A kholem iz fargangen

Casting off at break of dawn
The fisherman counts wishes:
Steady waves, a little sun
And one full net of fishes

Waves are rippling restlessly
The clouds turn moody colours
Are we both, the sea and me
Unrequited lovers?

Wandering by the shore awhile
I weave a dream of wishes:
Steady arms, a little smile
And deep enduring kisses

In his net the fisher finds
only melancholy
Like the fish I’ve swum away
And left my dreams behind me
