Oyfn Pripetchik

On the hearth

Oyfn Pripetchik

On the hearth burns a little fire,Oyfn pripetchik brent a fayerl,
And in the house, it's warm.Un in shtub is heys.
And the rabbi teaches little childrenUn der rebe lernt kleyne kinderlekh
The alphabet.Dem alef-beyz.

See, children,Zet zhe kinderlekh,
Remember, dear ones, what you learn here.Gedenkt zhe, tayere, vos ir lernt do.
Say it once again and then once more:Zogt zhe nokh a mol un take nokh a mol:
"komets-alef: o!""komets-alef: o!"

Learn, children, learn with joy,Lernt kinderlekh, lernt mit freyd,
Learn the alphabet.Lernt dem alef-beyz.
Happy is the Jew who knows the TorahGliklekh is der yid, wos kent die toyre
And the alphabetUn dos alef-beyz
