Translation of the song Oyfn Pripetshik artist Esther Ofarim

Oyfn pripetchik brent a fayerl,

On the stove, a small fire is burning,

Un in shtub is heys.

And in the room it's warm,

Un der rebe lernt kleyne kinderlekh

And the rabbi is teaching small children

Dem alef-beyz.

The alphabet.

Zet zhe kinderlekh,

See, children,

Gedenkt zhe, tayere, vos ir lernt do.

Remember, dear ones, what you learn here

Zogt zhe nokh a mol un take nokh a mol:

Repeat and repeat one more time:

Komets-alef: o!

Kamatz1-aleph2: o!

Lernt kinderlekh, lernt mit freyd,

Learn, children, learn with enthusiasm

Lernt dem alef-beyz.

Learn the alphabet

Gliklekh is der Yid, wos kent die toyre

Happy is the Jew who knows the Torah

Un dos alef-beyz.

And the alphabet.
