Lyrics in yiddish:

Ikh vil bay aykh a kashe fregen, zogt mir ver es ken

Mit velkhe tayere farmegen bentcht got alemen?

Men koyft dos nisht fir kayne gelt, dos git men nor umzist

Oon dokh az men ferlirt dos, oy vi treren men argist

A Tzvayten git men kaynem nit, es helft nisht kayn gevayn

Oy, ver es hot farloyrn, der vays shoyn vos ikh mayn.


A Yiddishe Mame,

Es gibt nisht besser oif der velt

A Yiddish Mame,
Oy vey vi bitter ven zi felt!

Vi shayn in likhtig iz in hoiz ven di mame iz do

Vi troyerig finster vert ven Got nemt ir oif Olam Haboh


In vasser in fayer volt zi gelofn far ihr kind

nisht halten ihr tayer, dos iz gevis di gresten zind

Oy, vi gliklekh un raykh iz der mentsh vos hot

Aza shayne matuneh geshenkt foon G-t,

Nor ayn altichke Yiddishe Mame,

Oy, Mame Mayn!
Lyrics in English:

I’d like to ask of you a question,
tell me who knows

With which dear possession does G-d bless everyone

It cannot be bought for no money,
it’s given only for free

And when it is lost, how many tears are shed.
 

A second is given nobody, no cry can help,

Oy, he who has lost it, he already knows what I mean.

A Yiddishe Mame
It doesn’t get better on this earth
 

A Yiddishe Mame,
 How bitter when she is missing.

How nice and bright it is at home, when the Mame is here

How sad and dark it becomes,
when G-d takes her to Olam Haba 
 
In water,
through fire, she would have run for her child

Not to hold her dear, is surely the greatest sin,

How lucky and rich is the one who has

Such a beautiful gift presented from G-d

Like and old Yiddishe Mame
My Yiddishe Mame!
