Az men fort kayn Sevastopol,
Is nit vayt fun Simferopol,
Dortn iz a stantsie faran.
Ver darf zuchn naye glikn?
S’iz a stantsie an antikl,
In Zhankoye, zhan, zhan, zhan.

Refrain:
Hey zhan, hey Zhankoye,
Hey Zhanvili, hey Zhankoye,
Hey Zhankoye, zhan, zhan, zhan.

Entfert yidn oyf mayn kashe,
Vu’z mayn bruder, vu’z abrasha?
S’geyt bay im der trakter vi a ban.
Di Mume Leye bay der kosilke,
Beyle bay der molotilke,
In Zhankoye, zhan, zhan, zhan.

(refrain)

Ver zogt as yidn konen nor handlen
Esn fete yoych mit mandlen,
Nor nit zayn kayn arbetsman?
Dos konen zogn nor di sonim!
Yidn! Shpeyt zey on in ponim!
Tut a kuk oyf zhan, zhan, zhan!

(refrain)
