vi zehyt oys das shtibele, vos hat amol geglanst
tsi bliht nokh der boymele, vos ikh hob farflanst
das shtibl is alt, farvaksn mit mokh un gros
der alte dakh tserfaln
di fenster ohn glos
der gannik is krumm
tserboygn di vend
du volst das shoymer gor nit erkenn
ay ay ay belz , mayn shtetele belz
mayn heymele, dort vo ikh hob mayne kindishe yorn farbrakht
bist du geven amol in belz
mayn shtetele belz
mayn heymele, dort vo ikh hob mayne kindishe yorn farbrakht
yeydn shabbes pfleg ikh loyfn mit alle yinge nakh laykh
zitsn unter di grine boymele
varfn shteynele in taykh
belz, mayn shtetele belz
mayn heymele, dort vo ikh hob mayne kindishe yorn farbrakht
bist du geven amol in belz
mayn shtetele belz
mayn heymele, dort vo ikh hob mayne kindishe yorn farbrakht
yeydn shabbes pfleg ikh loyfn mit alle yinge nakh laykh
zitsn unter di grine boymele
varfn shteynele in taykh
belz, mayn shtetele belz
mayn heymele, dort vo ikh hob mayne kindishe yorn farbrakht

Belz

Tell me old man
Tell me quickly
Because I want to be told everything
How does the house look, that once used to glisten?
Does the tree still blossom, the one which I had planted?
The house is old, overgrown with moss and grass
The old roof collapsed
The windows without glass
The alcove is crooked
The walls are bent
You wouldn’t recognize it anymore
Ey Ey Ey Belz my little town Belz,
my little home,there, where I have spent my childhood years
Have you ever been to Belz?
My little town Belz,
my little home, there, where I have spent my childhood years
Every Sabbath I used to run with all of the other boys to the bay
to sit beneath the green trees
throwing stones into the pond
Belz my little town Belz,
my little home,there, where I have spent my childhood years
Have you ever been to Belz?
My little town Belz,
my little home, there, where I have spent my childhood years
Every Sabbath I used to run with all of the other boys to the bay
to sit beneath the green trees
throwing stones into the pond
Belz my little town Belz,
my little home,there, where I have spent my childhood years
