To our prosperity
To good health and happiness
And most important
To life, to life, la kayim
La kayim, la kayim, to life
Here's to the father I tried to be
Here's to my bride-to-be
Drink la kayim, to life
To life, la kayim
La kayim, la kayim to life
Life has a way of confusing us
Blessing and bruising us
Drink la kayim, to life!
God would like us to be joyful
Even when our hearts lie panting on the floor
How much more can we be joyful
When there's really something to be joyful for?
To life, to life, la kayim
To Tzeitel, my daughter, my wife
It gives you something to think about
Something to drink about
Drink la kayim, to life!
Le Morta!
Yes, Lazar Wolf?
Drinks for everyone!
What's the occasion?
I'm taking myself a bride!
Who is it to be?
Tevye's eldest, Tzeitel!
Tzeitel, impossible
To Lazar Wolf, to Tevye!
To Tzeitel, your daughter, my wife
May all your futures be pleasant ones
Not like our present ones
Drink la kayim, to life
To life, la kayim
La kayim, la kayim, to life
It takes a wedding to make us say
"Let's live another day"
Drink la kayim, to life!
We'll raise a glass and sip a drop of schnapps
In honor of the great good luck that favor you
We know that when good fortune favors two such men
It stands to reason, we deserve it too!
To us and our good fortune!
Be happy, be healthy, long life!
And if our good fortune never comes
Here's to whatever comes
Drink la kayim, to life!
[Incomprehensible] heaven bless you both [Incomprehensible]
To your health and may we live together in peace!
[Incomprehensible] heaven bless you both [Incomprehensible]
To your health and may we live together in peace!
May you both be favored with the future of your choice
May you live to see a thousand reasons to rejoice!
[Incomprehensible] heaven bless you both [Incomprehensible]
To your health and may we live together in peace!
We'll raise a glass and sip a drop of Schnapps
In honor of the great good luck that favors you
We know that when good fortune favors two such men
It stands to reason, we deserve it too!
To us and our good fortune!
Be happy, be healthy, long life!
And if our good fortune never comes
Here's to whatever comes
Drink la kayim, to life!
To life!
