GENUG GEVEYNT

Lyrics: Mordecai Gebirtig
Music: Michael Heiser

Genug! A sof ! Ikh zing nisht mer
keyn umetike lider
Zey zenen mir, azoy vi aykh
gevorn shoyn dervider

Kh’vel zingen lider freylekhe
A marshele an ekhter
Di zaytn haltn vet ir zikh
Un kaykhn fun gelekhter

Genug geveynt, a freylekh lid
Vet ir fun mir itst hern
Ir vet fun freyd azsh khaleshn
Un lakhn biz tsu trern

Translation:
ENOUGH

Enough! An end! I will not sing
Sad songs anymore
They are now repugnant to me
As they are to you

I will sing happy songs
A little march, a real one
You will hold your sides
And cackle with laughter

Enough weeping, you will now
hear
A happy song from me
You will then become faint
And laugh until you cry
