l'chaim


pour down, pour down l'chaim,
l'chaim to life and to luck
a glass of wine take and slam it down
what can be better than that?!
drink l'chaim!


pour down, pour down l'chaim,
l'chaim in a good hour.
get together young and old
let's go dance a little dance,
drink l'chaim to luck!


let it be with luck l'chaim`
yesterday won't come back again.
only one time we live in this world
what matters to you riches and money?!
drink l'chaim to luck!


let it be with fortune, blessing,
nakhes and success!
make a nice toast!


this is from heavens, drink l'chaim!
today is a great simkhe!

mazl tov!


l'chaim to life and to luck!
a glass of wine take and slam it down
what can be better than that?!
drink l'chaim!

daddy and mommy have finally made it
and have reached the simkhe
do they have any equals now?!


girls and guys,
poor and well-to-do,
good luck, with G-d's help!



let it be with luck l'chaim!
you should have a long and healthy life!
come together young and old
let us go dance a little dance

long live!
wish we with this song
drink, drink, drink l'chaim with luck!

  • There are 2 mistakes in your lyrics:

    1. khatslokhe - *Hatslokhe

    2. in the last phrase they sing "...trink trink trink l'chaim *ve glik" and not "mit glik".

    "ve" means "and" in hebrew.

  • @Belson20 hatslokhe, you are right. I hear "mit glik" and "tsu/tsi glik" in different parts. "ve glik" makes no sense, since "glik" is not hebreic.

  • @sasha365i

    I forgot to refere to what you said ""ve glik" makes no sense, since "glik" is not hebreic."

    based on that the entire yiddish language doesn't make sense, does it?

    "a sheyner bokher", "khosen un kale", "meylek un malke" etc etc etc

  • @Belson20 what you are saying about "ve glik" makes some sense, but I am not a 100% sure. l'khayim in yiddish is a noun and it means a "toast" or a "drink" it is not an adjective like in hebrew. also there are rules how to use "ve = and". eg. "sholem ve shalve", "khupe ve kedushin", "kharpe ve bushe" etc.. as you can see the last word is always a hebrew word. saying "l'chaim ve glik" is strange. I will check it with people who know more, but thanks for your suggestions and corrections.

  • my heart is beating like crazy when i listen to their music <3 <3

  • @sasha365i

    le-chaim literally means to-life. it's used in hebrew in the exact way it's used in yiddish.

    as you probably know it's mainly used while raising a toast and it can also be used as a noun or a part of an action like "at rosh ha-shana we all went to my grandma's and did le-chaim". the action of raising the glass and saying le-chaim is "to do le-chaim"/"makhn le-chaim".

    trink le-chaim ve glik means "drink to life AND hapiness. it makes perfect sense.

  • simply fantastic

  • @sasha365i

    They only sing "ve" in the last phrase of the song 2:35. it almost seems like they wanted to emphasize it.

    I'm not just making this up. I'm israeli so I can tell when a word of my language is pronounced :)
