[TEVYE, spoken]
To our prosperity
To good health and happiness
And most important...

(sung)
To life! To life! L'chaim!

[TEVYE & LAZAR]
L'chaim, l'chaim, to life!

[TEVYE]
Here's to the father I've tried to be

[LAZAR]
Here's to my bride-to-be

[TEVYE & LAZAR]
Drink l'chaim, to life
To life, l'chaim

[TEVYE]
L'chaim, l'chaim, to life
Life has a way of confusing us

[LAZAR]
Blessing and bruising us
[TEVYE & LAZAR]
Drink l'chaim, to life

[TEVYE]
God would like us to be joyful
Even when our hearts lie
Panting on the floor

[LAZAR]
How much more can we be joyful
When there's really something to be joyful for?

[TEVYE & LAZAR]
To life, to life, l'chaim

[TEVYE]
To Tzeitel, my daughter—

[LAZAR]
My wife
It gives you something to think about

[TEVYE]
Something to drink about

[TEVYE & LAZAR]
Drink l'chaim, to life
[LAZAR, spoken]
Mordcha. 

[MORDCHA, spoken]
Yes, what is it, Lazar Wolf?

[LAZAR, spoken]
Reb Mordcha, drinks for everybody. 

[MORDCHA, spoken]
What's the big occasion, Lazar?

[LAZAR, spoken]
I am taking myself a bride. 

[MORDCHA, spoken]
Who's the lucky one?

[LAZAR, spoken]
Tevye's eldest, Tzeitel!

[MEN, spoken]
Mazel tov!

[MAN 1]
To Lazar Wolf--
[TEVYE]
To Tevye!

[MAN 2]
To Tzeitel, your daughter—

[LAZAR]
My wife!

[MEN]
May all your futures be pleasant ones
Not like our present ones
Drink l'chaim, to life
To life, l'chaim
L'chaim, l'chaim, to life

It takes a wedding to make us say
"Let's live another day"
Drink l'chaim, to life

We'll raise a glass and sip a drop of schnapps
In honor of the great good luck that favored you
We know that when good fortune favors two such men
It stands to reason we deserve it too

To us and our good fortune
Be happy, be healthy, long life
And if our good fortune never comes
Here's to whatever comes
Drink l'chaim, to life

[RUSSIAN]
Ah
За ваш здоровья (Za va shas da rovia)

To your health and may we live
Together in peace

За ваш здоровья (Za va shas da rovia)
Heaven bless you both
На здоровье (Nasdrovia)
To your health and may we live
Together in peace

[RUSSIANS]
Hey!
May you both be favored with the future of your choice
May you live to see a thousand reasons to rejoice

За ваш здоровья (Za va shas da rovia)
Heaven bless you both
На здоровье (Nasdrovia)
To your health and may we live
Together in peace
Hey!

[TEVYE, spoken]
To life
