A
yidishe mame
Who
protects her child as the apple of her eye?
Who sits up the long nights when the child is not well?
The answer is very simple, and everyone knows it:
The name is dear to us all.
It is mama.
Refrain:
The Jewish mother makes the world sweet.
(ALTERNATE (appoximately) A Jewish mother, there isn't better
in the world)
A Jewish mother, how bitter life is when she is not there.
You must thank God that she is still with you.
How sad we are when she passes away too soon.
She would go through fire and water for the sake of her child.
It is the worst of sins not to hold her precious.
Happy and rich is the man who has got this beautiful gift of
God,
his old Jewish mother.
Who is happier than mother, when the child is set on his feet?
Who has a stronger determination to have the world at peace?
Her greatest wish is for peace, when no bombs scare people.
Mother wants her child to grow up and be in good healt
