English translation
Belz
Tell me old man
Tell me quickly
Because I want to be told everything
How does the house look, that once used to glisten?
Does the tree still blossom, the one which I had planted?
The house is old, overgrown with moss and grass
The old roof collapsed
The windows without glass
The alcove is crooked
The walls are bent
You wouldn’t recognize it anymore
Ey Ey Ey Belz my little town Belz,
my little home,there, where I have spent my childhood years
Have you ever been to Belz?
My little town Belz,
my little home, there, where I have spent my childhood years
Every Sabbath I used to run with all of the other boys to the bay
to sit beneath the green trees
throwing stones into the pond
Belz my little town Belz,
my little home,there, where I have spent my childhood years
Have you ever been to Belz?
My little town Belz,
my little home, there, where I have spent my childhood years
Every Sabbath I used to run with all of the other boys to the bay
to sit beneath the green trees
throwing stones into the pond
Belz my little town Belz,
my little home,there, where I have spent my childhood years
