Lyrics
Spoken in English:
When the north wind brings the cold air
Should we laugh and dance against it?
Or should we sigh with its groaning?
My child, your father sends a message of hope
From a cold, dark land
Where he is digging graves
For all lies

The lyrics song are in Yiddish. Translation:
Dark clouds race and rush, the wind whistles and blows. Your father sends greetings from Siberia to you, my child. It is the wind that brings a greeting from that cold land. There your father stands with a shovel in hand. And he digs deeper and deeper – shoveling out the earth. Don’t worry – he’s digging graves for all lies. He’s neither the first nor the last to fall in the field. But don’t worry, my child, a great hero bore you. And you’ll grow up to be a hero. So sleep, sleep now. Gather your strength for the future my only child.
