Correction:
Vu iz dos gesele? Where is the little street
Vu iz di shtib? Where is the house
Vu iz doz meydele Where is the girl
Vemen chob lib? Whom I loved?
Ot iz dos gesele Here is the little street
Ot iz di shtib Here is the house
Nishto shoyn dos meydele the girl is no longer here
Vos ikh hob lib The one that I loved.
There are 3 different melodies that we know these lyrics

Sounds like VU IZ DOS GESELE?
Vu iz dos gesele? Where is the little street?
Vu iz di shtib? Where is the shul?
Vu iz doz meydele Where is the maiden
Vemen chob lib? Whom I loved?
(This is a guessed-at translation.)
Ot iz dos gesele.
Ot iz di shtib...
