My Dreydl/When We Love Eachother
In honor of Rivka Goldstein
Lyrics
I - have a little dreydl, I made it out of clay,
and when it’s dry and ready, then dreydl I shall play!
CHORUS:
Dreydl, dreydl, dreydl, I made it out of clay!
And when it’s dry and ready, then dreydl I shall play!
2 - I spin my little dreydl, and when it falls on hey,
I take out half the money, that’s how I like to play!
CHORUS
3- I spin my little dreydl, and when it falls on shin,
oy, then I’m not so lucky, I put two pennies in!
CHORUS
4 - I spin my little dreydl, and when it falls on nuhn,
I nothing take and nothing lose, and then my turn is done!
CHORUS
5 - I love my little dreydl, it spins so fast and fine!
And when I get a gimmel, then all the coins are mine!
CHORUS
6 - The world is like a dreydl, it spins and spins and spins! *
And when we love eachother, then everybody wins!
