Shnirele Perele

shnirele perele, gildene fon,

mashiekh ben david zizt oybn on.

er halt a bekher in der rekhter hant,

makht a brokhe oyfn gantsn land.

oy omen veomen, dos iz vor,

mashiekh vet kumen hayntiks yor,

oy omen veomen, dos iz vor,

vet er kumen zu geyn, veln ale yidn

in erets yisroel aynshteyn. (2x)

Shnirele Perele

(REF)(2x)
Ribbons, pearls, golden flags
The Messiah, son of David, is above us
He holds a goblet in his right hand
And gives his blessing to the whole earth
Amen and amen, this is the truth
The Messiah will come this year
Amen and amen, this is the truth
The Messiah will come this year
 
(BRIDGE)
If he comes by riding, good years are ahead
If he comes by horse, good times are ahead
If he comes by foot, every Jew
Will be settled in the land of Israel
 
(REF)(2x)

Mekhuteineste Mayne (My Mother-in-Law)

MEKHUTEINESTE MAYNE

מעכוטײנעסטע מײַנע 

Mekhuteneste mayne, mekhuteneste getraye, 
Oy, lomir zayn oyf eibik mekhutonim. 
Ikh gib aykh avek mayn tokhter far a shnur, 
Zi zol ba aykh nit onvern dos ponim. 

Mekhuteneste mayne, mekhuteneste getraye, 
Mayn kind zolt ir nisht fri oyfvekn, 
Un tomer vet ir zen an avle oyf mayn kind, 
Vi an eygene mame zolt ir dos fardekn. 

Mekhuteneste mayne, mekhuteneste getraye, 
Oyf kinder hobn muz men blut fargisn, 
Un tomer vet ir zen, az der zun hot lib di shnur, 
Zol es aykh gornisht fardrisn. 

Mekhuteneste mayne, mekhuteneste getraye 
Ikh far tzu aykh mit a parikl 
Tomer vet ir zayn 
A shlak a beygzey shviger 
Iz mayn tokhter oykhet an antikl



My dear in-law, this is what I want to tell you. 
Today, we have become relations. 
I am giving you my daughter for a daughter-in-law. 
May she not lose face with you. 

My dear-in-law, this is what I want to tell you. 
Do not wake my daughter too early in the morning. 
And should you hear an evil word from her, 
May you forgive as her own mother would. 

My dear in-law, this is what I want to tell you.
It needs much effort to bring up a child. 
And if your son looks lovingly at his wife, 
Do not keep a jealous eye on him. 

My dear in-law, this is what I want to tell you.
I am willing to bet you 
That if you are going to be an angry, 
unforgiving mother-in-law, 
My daughter is quite a brilliant herself!
