PURELY COMMENTARY

Di shtub is Pesachdik, di tzimern will shine.
Der tish iz shayn with di glezlach of wine.
Mir essn un mir trinken, the Haggadah we read.
Mir zingen alle zmirot, ich bin hayzerik un mid.
Ober Pesach, oy Pesach, a yontef of mine.

Di shtub is Pesachdik - The house is Pesach-ready
di tzimern - the rooms
Der tish iz shayn with di glezlach of wine - The table
is beautiful with the glasses of wine.
Mir essn un mir trinken - we eat and we drink
Mir zingen alle zmirot - we sing all the songs
ich bin hayzerik un mid -- I am hoarse and tired
Ober - but
yontef - holiday
