Lyrics:
shprayz ikh mir mit gikhe mit gikhe trit,
nokh a ferdl tsum yarid, tsum yarid.
mitn tayser kling ikh mir, kling ikh mir,
un a lidl zing ikh mir, zing ikh mir.

tsu der shtot iz vayt, nokh zer vayt,
shteyt a kretshmer bay der zayt, bay der zayt.
brayt tse ofn iz di tir, iz di tir,
kretshmer gib a glezl, gib a glezl mir.

nokh a glezel, nokh eynz, nokh a gloz,
gizt mir on der bale, der balebos,
vos mir shtot un ven mir ven yarid,
az keyn ferdl darf ikh nit, darf ikh nit.

dos ferdl hob ikh nit gekoyft, nit gekoyft,
un dos gelt shoyn lang farzoyft, lang farzoyft,
un far tsores shpring ikh mir, shpring ikh mir,
un a lidl zing ikh mir, zing ikh mir.

got bentshn der zeyde  ikh nor libn dos nign

[MrGermanist]

Lieber Gendler ! DU brauchst kein Chor ...

[dailup115]

sorry, now its okay, strange...

[dailup115]

please read it from the bottom up !

I did not managed it the right way...

[dailup115]

frankly spoken, I don't like this version. ;-(

lacks of heart, volume and accuracy.

Should see, what the "klezmatiks" and "les égarés"

have made from this great song!

[dailup115]

Another glass the next one and another glass, Still offers me the bartender, the bartender

Which town and which marketplace I want to go?

Where I cant by my horse where I cant buy a horse.

The horse I havent bought now oh I havent bought

By drink I wasted all the money I just had

Besiding me with anger I just jump around

And a song Im singing here I sing to me.

[dailup115]

@mywifelostinthewild: just a freestyle-try from the german translation:

With fast Steps Im hasting, Im hasting fast

To buy a horse at marketplace at marketplace

With the leashes jingling I am jingling loud

And a song Im singing now Im singing now.

To town its far, still very far,

And here is a guesthouse just beside the road.

The dors wide open, how it is invitingly

Hey, Barkeeper let me have just glass from you!

....

Could anybody translate the lyrics to English? I'm just curious, I love this song.

'un far tzores shpring ikh mir, un a lidl zing ikh mir'
