TRANSLATION:
Children, we have now simchas torah
It’s simchas torah all over the world
Torah is the best treasure
–At least that’s what the rabbi says.

Oy, oy, oy oy oy
Be happy children, that’s the way
Coins are coming from everywhere
Be happy, don’t stop.

Although I’m just a poor little Jew,
Who’s loaded down with cares,
On simchas torah I sing a song –
And I take a drink or two.

Dvoyre, get me my new kapote
I’m going to put it on right now
I want to tell you: nothing else matters
As long as you’ve got, thank God, your health.

Dvoyre, give me another glass
Of our special-occasion wine.
What are you so down in the mouth for?
Let all my enemies slide straight into hell!

Oy vey, Dvoyre, what are you afraid of?
That I’m a little happy, shaky on me feet?
Darling Dvoyre on simchas torah
Who isn’t happy, you tell me!

Is it the streets that are spinning with me?
Is it the house that’s doing the same?
All right, Dvoyre, now that you’ve had a few
God bless you, life is sweet.

Simchas Torah, a gift from God –
Let’s always keep it holy.
Even the moon and the stars
Have gone off to drink some wine.
