| Di tsayt, zi loyft, zi bavegt mikh; tsi baveg oykh ikh di tsayt? |
Time rushes by, it moves me, Do I also move the time? |
| Di tsayt zi firt, zi vekt mikh; tsi vek oykh ikh di tsayt? |
Time leads me on and wakes me, do I also wake the time ? |
| Tsi khap ikh di rege, tsi khapt zi mikh ? A nes farborgn farblondzhet zikh! |
Do I seize the moment or does it seize me? A miracle, unseen, has lost its way. |
| Tsi vilstu gefinen dayn gildene sho ? Zukh, nit zukh, zi iz shoyn do! |
Do you hope to find your golden hour? Search or not, it's already here. |
| Vos ken, bekitser, a mentsh nokh ton ? Di tsayt, zi rirt mikh tsaytik on… |
What indeed is one to do? The time will touch me when it's ripe. |
