Di Krenitse Lyrics - Singles - The Klezmatics

Dort vu grozn zaynen naser, 

Shteyt a krenitse fartrakht. 

Kumen meydlekh tsien vaser 

Mit di emer ale nakht. 

Unter zun, vi vayse bern, 

Vaksn teg in groysn sod. 

Un in vaytkayt fun di shtern 

Tantsn yatn in a rod. 

Fun di stepes vintlekh blozn 

Un a fayerl derbrent, 

Geyen meydlekh af di grozn 

Mit di emer in di hent. 

Vert levone blas un blaser, 

Ergets poykt men in der nakht. 

Dort, vu grozn zaynen naser, 

Shteyt a krenitse fartrakht. 

(English Translation: 

Out where the grass grows pretty wet, 

A well stands lost in thought. 

Every night girls come for water 

With buckets in their hands. 

'Neath the sun, like polar bears, 

Days sprout in a great orchard. 

And in the farness of the stars 

The boys are dancing a round. 

From the steppes the breezes blow 

And a little fire flames. 

Girls are walking on the grass 

With buckets in their hands. 

The moon grows pale, and paler. 

Somewhere in the night someone's drumming. 

Out where the grass grows pretty wet 

A well stands lost in thought. )
