I am a Jew, that's what I am
That's what I am, that's what I am!
It's who I've always been
I hope you can understand
If it's a problem for others
Then it's my revelation
Being Jewish is in my constitution
If it's a problem for others it's my revelation
I hope you can understand my constitution
It runs in my veins
It's lodged in my cells
It's embedded in my fiber
It's what makes me excel
It's the essence of my logic
The pit of my will
The core of my emotions
My pride and my emotions
My goodwill, my pride and goodwill
הייליגע אידן איבעראל וואו מען קוקט
געשיקט, דערשטיקט, צופליקט
שפּאט ביליג, פארטיליגט
איך זוך מיין זיידע וואו ליגט
מיליאנען פּערזאנען אוי אין וואגאנען
נישט טינט נאר בלוט
וואו נעמט מען נאך אזא פאלק
נאך רציחות פון מלוכה'ס
אלע רוחות, שחיטות
מען האלט דעם לוחות און שיחות
נאך שעכטן עלטערן און קינדער, טעכטער, שנירן
האלט מען די פּאפּירן
מען לאזט זיך נישט פארפירן
אוי וויי
The beat of my heart
The oxygen I breathe
The fire of my soul
Everything I need
It's my joy of joyous
As long I can be
The Jew out of my free will not forced
Then I can be the real Jewish me
We have enough trouble in the outside world
At least between us let's love each other
Because we're each a sister
We're each a brother
A father, mother
It's hard to believe we still exist
After thousands of opposition
I'm sure there is a power above
But our inner power should be love
The beat of my heart
The oxygen I breathe
The fire of my soul
Everything I need
The beat of my heart
The oxygen I breathe
The fire of my soul
Everything I need
It runs in my veins
It's lodged in my cells
It's embedded in my fiber
It's what makes me excel
It's s the essence of my logic\
