Train Across Ukraine - Golem

I am the traveler, third class

My name is Hello How Are You

Is this seat taken, you may ask

Of the traveler in third class

Ikh bin a reyzener, dritte klass

Mayn nomen Sholem Aleichem

Zanyato?

Fregt men mir

Dem reyzener dritte klass

The things I’ve seen

And in between

Eleven months of the year

On the road with you, my dear

Girls in white, men in black

Dogs and cats, brass and tack

Golden teeth, crooked track

Gonna take the train right back

My name is Hello How Are You

Is this seat taken, you may ask

Of the traveler in third class

Ikh bin a reyzener, dritte klass

Mayn nomen Sholem Aleichem

Zanyato?

Fregt men mir

Dem reyzener dritte klass

Through fields of grain

In snow and rain

Eleven months of the year

In the train across Ukraine

Girls in black, men in white

Children yell, women fight

Golden dreams, dimming light

Then I take the train all night

My name is Sholem Aleichem

Is this seat taken, you may ask

Of the traveler in third class

Ikh bin a reyzener, dritte klass

Mayn nomen Hello How Are You

Zanyato?

Fregt men mir

Dem reyzener dritte klass

The things I’ve seen and in between

Eleven months of the year

On the road with you, my dear

Through fields of grain and snow and rain

Eleven months of the year

In the train across Ukraine
