(Complete lyrics in Yiddish, transliteration and English translation are included in the PDF download for this album)
Beneath the Trees the grass grows,
Ay-la-lay-lyu-lyu,
And the cruel winds blow,
So sleep, my little son.
Don't sit by the window, my child,
Because you can feel the wind;
And I wouldn't want you, lovely one,
To catch cold.
The sky is already dark with clouds,
Just like here in my heart.
Ay-la-lay-lyu-lyu,
Sleep, my darling child,
Ay-la-lay-lyu-lyu,
And stay well.

A little sun, a little rain
A peaceful place to lay your head
As long as you're healthy, you can be happy.
A shoe, a sock, a dress without patches
Three or four coins in your pocket
As long as you're healthy, you can be happy.
The air is free for each one alike
The sun shines for everyone, poor or rich.
A bit of joy, a bit of laughter, a drink with friends now and then
As long as you're healthy, you can be happy
