Zog Nit Keyn Mol - Never Say
1.Never say that there is only death for you,
Though leaden skies may be concealing days of blue
Because the hour, we hungered for, is near;
Beneath our tread the earth shall thunder:
?We are here!?
Because the hour, we hungered for, is near;
Beneath our tread the earth shall thunder:
?We are here!?

2.From land of palm-trees to the far-off land of snow
We shall be coming with our torment, with our woe
And everywhere our blood has sunk into the earth
Shall our bravery, our vigor blossom forth
And everywhere our blood has sunk into the earth
Shall our bravery, our vigor blossom forth

3.We?ll have the morning sun 
to set our day aglow,
And our yesterdays shall vanish with the foe.
And if the time is long before the sun appears
Then let this song go 
like a signal through the years
And if the time is long before the sun appears
Then let this song go 
like a signal through the years

4.This song was written with our blood, and not with lead;
It?s not a song that summer birds sing overhead:
It was a people, among toppling barricades,
That sang this song of ours with pistols and grenades.
It was a people, among toppling barricades,
That sang this song of ours with pistols and grenades.

5.So never say that there is only death for you.
Leaden skies may be concealing days of blue;
Yet the hour that we have hungered for is near;
Beneath our tread the earth shall thunder:
?We are here!?

6.Zog nit keyn mol 
az du geyst dem lestn veg,
(Khotsh) himlen blayene 
farshteln bloye teg.
Kumen vet nokh undzer 
oysgebenkte sho--
S?vet a poyk ton undzer trot: 
Mir zaynen do!
Kumen vet nokh undzer 
oysgebenkte sho--
S?vet a poyk ton undzer trot: 
Mir zaynen do!

7.Fun grinem palmenland 
biz vaytn land fun shney,
Mir kumen on mit undzer payn, 
mit undzer vey;
Un vu gefaln iz a shprits 
fun undzer  blut,
Shprotsn vet dort undzer gvure,
undzer mut.
Un vu gefaln iz a shprits 
fun undzer  blut,
Shprotsn vet dort undzer gvure, 
undzer mut.

8.S?vet di morgnuzen bagildn 
undz dem haynt,
Un der nekhtn 
vet farshvindn mitn faynt.
Nor oyb farzamen 
vet di zun un dem kayor--
Vi a parol zol geyn dos lid 
fun dor tsu dor.
Nor oyb farzamen 
vet di zun un dem kayor--
Vi a parol zol geyn 
dos lid fun dor tsu dor.

9.Dos lid geshribn 
iz mit bluit un nit mit blay,
S?iz nit keyn lidl 
fun a foygl oyf der fray.
Dos hot a folk tsvishn 
falndike vent--
Dos lid gezungen 
mit naganes in di hent!
Dos hot a folk tsvishn 
falndike vent--
Dos lid gezungen 
mit naganes in di hent!
