Текст пісні
All right, only... don't be frightened!
In the beginning I dreamt that we were having a celebration of some kind.
(spoken)
Everybody we knew was there. Musicians too. Suddenly, in comes your grandma Tzietl, may she rest in peace.
Naturally, I went up to greet her, and she said:
(sung)
A blessing on your head
(Mazel Tov, Mazel Tov)
To see a daughter wed
(Mazel Tov, Mazel Tov)
And such a son-in-law
Like no-one ever saw
The tailor Motel Camzoil
(spoken)
Motel'
(sung)
A worthy boy is he
Of pious family
(Mazel Tov, Mazel Tov)
(Mazel Tov, Mazel Tov)
They named him after my
Dear uncle Mordachai
The tailor Motel Camzoil
(spoken)
A tailor' She must have heard wrong. She meant a butcher.
(sung)
You must have heard wrong Grandma
There's no tailor
You mean the butcher Grandma
By the name of Lazer-Wolfe
Noooo!
I mean a tailor Tevye
My great-grandchild
Motel's bride was meant to be!
My little Tzietl who you named for me
(Mazel Tov, Mazel Tov)
For such a match I prayed
In heaven it was made
(Mazel Tov, Mazel Tov)
A fine upstanding boy
A comfort and a joy
The tailor Motel Camzoil
(spoken)
But we announced it already!
We made a bargain with the butcher!
(sung)
But we announced it Grandma
To our neighbors
We made a bargain Grandma
With the butcher Lazer-Wolfe
Noooo No!
So you announced it Tevye
That's your headache
And as for Lazer-Wolfe I say to you
Tevye, that's your headache too!
Mazel Tov, Mazel Tov
A blessing on your house
Imagine such a spouse
