From the album 'Puur' by Lies Müller.

Play me a little song in Yiddish,
It should awake pleasure instead of grief.
That all old and young could understand it,
From mouth to mouth it should be sung.

A song without sighs and without tears –
Play so everyone can hear it,
So, everyone can see I’m alive and I can sing,
Even better and more beautifully than before.

Play, musicians, play –
You know what I have in mind and what I want.
Play a little song for me –
Play a little song with heart and feeling.

Play me a little song about peace!
Let there be peace already, let it not be dream!
So, nations great and small can understand it,
And not engage in battles and wars.

Let’s sing this song together
As good friends, as children of one mother.
My only wish it should sound honest and free,
In everybody’s singing, also in mine.

Play, musicians, play –
You know what I have in mind and what I want.
Play a little song for me –
Play a little song with heart and feeling.
