Di Sapozhkelekh Lyrics
Farkoyfn di zaposhkelekh un forn oyf di droshkelekh,
abi mit dir in eynem tsu zayn.
Oy ikh on dir un du on mir, vi a klyamke on a tir,
ketsele feygele mayn.
Oy feyn oyf di vagzolekhlekh, un farkoyfn fremde
sholekhlekh, abi mit dir in eynem tsu zayn.
Oy, ikh on dir un du on mir ,vi a klyamke on a tir,
ketsele feygele mayn.
Oy shlofn on a kishele, un ezn on a tishele,
abi mit dir in eynem tsu zayn.
Oy, ikh on dir un du on mir ,vi a klyamke on a tir,
ketsele feygele mayn.
Oy shlofn oyf di vagzolekhlekh un vashn fremde
polekhlekh, abi mit dir in eynem tsu zayn.
Oy, ikh on dir un du on mir ,vi a klyamke on a tir,
ketsele feygele mayn.

Translation
"I would sell my boots
and go with you on a coach
just to be with you.
You without me, me without you
Would be like a doorknob without a door,
My little kitten, my little bird.
I would sell handkerchiefs
at the railroad station
just to be with you
You without me, me without you
Would be like a doorknob without a door,
My little kitten, my little bird.
I would eat without a table
And sleep without a pillow
just to be with you...
You without me, me without you
Would be like a doorknob without a door,
My little kitten, my little bird.
I would sleep at the railroad station
and wash a floor there
just to be with you...
You without me, me without you
Would be like a doorknob without a door,
My little kitten, my little bird."

The Boots
"I sell my boots
and go with you on a coach
just to be with you
as you are a handleless door
without me
my sweet little bird
I will sell handkerchieves
at the railroad station
just to be with you as you are a handleless door
without me
my sweet little bird
I will eat without a table
sleep without a pillow
just to be with you...
I will sleep at the railroad station
and wash a floor there
just to be with you..."
