Sheyres-hapleyte, the remnant, the rest
Snatches of ashes, unburned and unblessed
Disgraced and displaced, the remains of remains
The refugee leftovers, broken and stained

Sheyres-hapleyte, the people of dust
Alone with their language, their anguish and lust
Ibergeblibn, left over, alive
After survival, how to survive?

Sheyres-hapleyte, die Reste, der Rest
Die Traumatisierten, vertrieben, verletzt
A brokh un a shande, vi mentshlekher shtoyb
A folk vos a volk hot gemakht far a royb

Sheyres-hapleyte, the people of dust
Alone with their language, their anguish and lust
Ibergeblibn, left over, alive
After survival, how to survive?
