La yiddishe mama [English translation]

Soft forces of nature,

Yiddish mom,

That's the pure love,

Ready for her children,

To make all sacrifices,

Watchful ,in good years and bad years

For their sadness and their desires,

Strong face in dramas,

But too weak with her young (children)

In water or in flames,

She would risk her life for them,

Oh my God , that I have said the best,

Without pressure ,without strong faith in myself

Without loving my Yiddish mom

Mom

Yiddish mom,

Tradition Guardian,

Yiddish Mom

She is the treasure of the house

Just after our first shouts

She organizes, She decides

All long her life,

She forms us but she guides us

And

She is the light

When we are lost,

She is the prayer

That we say when she is not anymore,

I know that until my final day

I will keep the burning for ever

All love of my Yiddish mom

mom
