Oy, dortn, dortn

Ashkenazi Yiddish, or Jewish German, is a form spoken by the Jews of Germany and the East European countries. Its base is the Middle High German language, with Hebrew and Slavic words inserted.

This text is entirely German, with one Hewbrew word with German flection: benkn (to think of, to await, to long for)

And then there is Sephardic, the language of the Jews of Spain, naturally on the base of the old Spanish language.

The text with a rough translation:
1.
Oy dortn dortn ibern vaserl
O there, there over the water
Oy dortn dortn ibern brik
O there, there over the bridge
Fartribn hot men mikh in di vaytene lender
They have driven me out into the wide lands
Un benken benk ikh nokh dir tzurik.
And I'm longing back for you.

2.
O, helf mir, gotenyu, o Got in himl,
O help me, dear God, o God in heaven,
O, helf mir, gotenyu, s'iz mir nisht gut,
O help me, dear God, I'm not well,
Shoyn zayt dray yorelekh, vi mir shpiln libe,
Since three years we are playing love,
Oy oys shpiln di libe konen mir nit.
But we can't play the love to an end.


3.
Oy dayne oygelekh, vi di shvartze karshelekh
O your eyes, like the black cherries
Un dayne lipelekh - vi rozeve papir.
and your lips - like rosy paper.
Un dayne fingerlekh - vi tint un feder
And your fingers -like ink and pen
Un shraybn zolstu ofte briv tzu mir.
And you must write me letters often

rozeve = rozene? Printer's error?

[All words ending in -lekh are diminutives]
