Un veynt far zikh eyner aleyn.
crying by herself, all alone.

The sun will go down below the mountain;

Vet kumen di goldene pave tsu flien;

Ahin, vu di benkshaft vet tsien.
there, where our longing draws us.

The sun will go down below the mountain;

Vet kumen di nakht un vet zingen lyu-lyu
Night will come and will sing a lullaby,

Ariber di oygn vos faln shoyn tsu

Tsu shlofn in eybiker ru.
to sleep in eternal rest.
