Lyrics:
1. A sukele a kleyne,
Fun breter gemeyne,
A sukele hob ikh mir gemakht.
Mit a bisele skhakh
Kh'hob gedekt dem dakh.
Zits ikh mir in sukele bay nakht.

2. Fun vint dem kaltn
Vos blozt durkh di shpaltn
Mayn likhtele leshn zikh vil.
Dos makh ikh mir kidesh,
Un zet nor -- a khidesh:
Dos likhtl brent ruik un shtil.

3. Tsum ershtn gerikht,
Mit a blazn gezikht
Brengt mir mayn tekhterl arayn.
Zi shtelt zikh avek
Un zogt mit shrek:
"Tatele, di suke falt bald ayn."


4. "Zay nit keyn nar,
hob nit keyn tsar.
Zol dir di suke nit ton bang.
Es iz shoyn gor
Bald tsvey toyznt yor,
Un di suke zi shteyt nokh gants lang."

5. A sukele a kleyne,
Fun breter gemeyne,
A sukele hob ikh mir gemakht.
Di felker zey kumen,
Di felker zey brumen,
Nor der yiddisher folk iz gants shtark.
