Years of childhood

1. 
Years of childhood, forever you will remain with me. 
Whenever I think of those years, I grow sad - 
How quickly did I become old!

2. 
There stands the little houes where I was born, where I 
played as a child. 
There remains my cradle in which I slept. 
All that is gone like a dream.

3. 
I can still see the pretty Feyegele. 
I kissed her on her red cheeks, 
and her eyes drew my heart to her. 
I dreamt you would be mine.

4. 
Years of childhood, you are long gone. 
My dear mother is gone for ever. 
Feygele is no more, the house is gone long ago. 
How quickly have I grown old!
