Tumbala, Tumbala, Tumbalalaika
Tumbala, Tumbala, Tumbalalaika
Tumbalalaika, shpil balalaika

Shteyt a bocher, shteyt un tracht
Tracht un tracht dem gantze nacht
Vemen tsu nemen un nit farshemen
Vemen tsu nemen un nit farshemen

Tumbalalaika, freylach zol zeyn
Meydl, meydl, ch'vel bay dir fregen,
Vos kan vaksn, vaksn on regn?
Vos kon brenen un nit oyfhern?
Vos kon benken, veynen on treren?
((chorus))
Narisher bocher, vos darfstu fregn?
A shteyn ken vaksn, vaksn on regn.
Libeh ken brenen un nit oyfhern.
A harts kon benkn, veynen on treren.
