Oyfn Pripetchik
Oyfn pripetchik brent a fayerl,

Un der rebe lernt kleyne kinderlekh

Zet zhe kinderlekh,
gedenkt zhe, tayere, vos ir lernt do.
Zogt zhe nokh a mol un take nokh a mol:

Lernt kinderlekh, lernt mit freyd,
lernt dem alef-beyz.
Gliklekh is der Yid, wos kent die toyre
un dos alef-beyz
On the Hearth
On the hearth burns a little fire,
And in the room it's warm.
And the rabbi teaches little children
the alphabet.
See, children,
remember, dear ones, what you learn here.
Say it once again and then once more:
"Comets-alef: o!"
Learn, children, learn with joy,
learn the alphabet.
Happy is the Jew who knows the Torah
and the alphabet.
