l'chaim to life and to luck
a glass of wine take and slam it down
what can be better than that?!
drink l'chaim!

get together young and old
let's go dance a little dance,
drink l'chaim to luck!
let it be with luck l'chaim`
yesterday won't come back again.
only one time we live in this world
what matters to you riches and money?!
drink l'chaim to luck!
let it be with fortune, blessing,
nakhes and success!

a glass of wine take and slam it down
what can be better than that?!
drink l'chaim!

and have reached the simkhe
do they have any equals now?!
girls and guys,
poor and well-to-do,
good luck, with G-d's help!
let it be with luck l'chaim!
you should have a long and healthy life!
come together young and old
let us go dance a little dance
long live!
wish we with this song
drink, drink, drink l'chaim with luck!
