Abi Gezunt - Barry Sisters

ABI GEZUNT Composer: Abraham Ellstein Lyrics: Molly Picon from the film Mamele (1938, Poland). Originally performed by Molly Picon in 1938. A bisl zun, A bisl regn, A ruik ort dem kop tzu leygn, Abi gezunt, ken men gliklekh zayn. A shukh, a zok, A kleyd on lates, In keshene a dray, fir zlotes, Abi gezunt, ken men gliklekh zayn. Di luft iz fray Far yedn glaykh, Di zun zi shaynt Far yedn eynem orem oder raykh. A bisl freyd, A bisl lakhn, A mol mit fraynt a shnepsl makhn, Abi gezunt, ken men gliklekh zayn. Eyner zukht ashires, Eyner zukht gevires, Aynemen di gantse velt. Eyner meynt dos gantes glik Hengt nor op in gelt. Zoln ale zukhn, Zoln ale krikhn, Nor ikh trakht bay mir, Ikh darf dos oyf kapores vayl Dos glik shteyt bay mayn tir. A bit of sun, a bit of rain, a peaceful place to lay your head so long as youre healthy, you can be happy.
