	Shpil-zhe mir a lidele in Yidish Shpil-zhe mir a lidele in Yidish, Dervekn zol es freyd un nisht keyn khidesh, Az ale mentshn groys un kleyn zoln kenen dos farshteyn, Fun moyl tsu moyl dos lidele zol geyn. A lidele on ziftsn un on trern, Shpil azoy az ale zoln hern, Az ale zoln zen ikh leb un zingen ken, Shtarker nokh un shener vi geven. Khor: Shpil, Shpil, klezmerl shpil, Veyst dokh vos ikh meyn un vos ikh vil. Shpil, shpil, shpil a lidele far mir, Shpil a nigndl mit hartz un mit gefil.	Play Me A Song in Yiddish Play me a song in Yiddish, A happy song with no surprises, So everyone will understand, So people both big and small will understand, And pass it from person to person. A song without sighs or tears, Play loud for everyone to hear, So everyone can see that I’m still alive and can still sing, Stronger and better than before. Chorus: Play, play, klezmer play, Surely you know what I mean and what I want, Play, play a little song for me, Play a little tune with heart and with feeling.
