lyrics

Fort a fisher afn yam,
Er fort aroys baginen.
S’hoft der fisher minastam,
Fishelekh gefinen.

Murmlen khvalyes shtil far zikh,
Der yam iz a batribter.
Tsi iz der yam azoy vi ikh,
Oykhet a farlibter?

Gey ikh mir baym breg ot do,
Un tu mayn kholem shpinen.
Efsher vel ikh ergets vu,
Mayn libstn nokh gefinen.

Kumt der fisher troyerik,
Er hot keyn fish gefangen.
Un ikh bin more-shkhoyredik:
A kholem iz fargangen.

---

A fisherman sails forth
On the sea at dawn
And hopes
To catch a fish.

The waves murmur softly,
The sea is sad.
Is the sea, perhaps, like me,
Also in love?

I walk along the shore,
And spin my dream.
Perhaps somewhere
I will find my love.

The fisherman returns,
He didn't catch any fish.
And I am too melancholy:
My dream is forgotten.
