1
To life! To life! L'chai-I'm!
2
L'chai-I'm, l'chai-I'm, to life!
3
If you've been lucky, then Monday was No worse than Sunday
4
Was,
5
Drink l'chai-I'm, to life.
6
To life, l'chai-I'm!
7
L'chai-I'm, l'chai-I'm, to life!
8
One day it's honey and raisin cake,
9
Next day a stomach ache,
10
Drink L'chai-I'm, to life!
11
Our great men have written words of
12
Wisdom to be used
13
When hardship must be faced;
14
Life obliges us with hardship
15
So the words of wisdom
16
Shouldn't go to waste.
17
To us and our good fortune
18
Be happy be healthy, long life!
19
And if our good fortune never comes
20
Here's to whatever comes,
21
Drink l'chaim, to life!
22
To life, to life, l'chai-I'm,!
23
L'chai-I'm, l'chai-I'm, to life!
24
Life has a way of confusing us
25
Blessing and bruising us,
26
Drink l'chaim, to life,
27
To life, l'chaim!
28
L'chaim, l'chaim, to life!
29
A gift we seldom are wise enough
30
Ever to prize enough,
31
Drink l'chaim, to life!
32
God would like us to be joyful
33
Even though our hearts lie panting on the floor;
34
How much more can we be joyful,
35
When there's really something
36
To be joyful for.
37
To life, to life, L'chai-I'm!
38
L'chai-I'm, l'chai-I'm, to life!
39
It gives you something to think about,
40
Something to drink about,
41
Drink l'chai-I'm, to life! L'chai-I'm!
42
The blessing and bruising us part comes first.
43
The honey and raisin cake is not in the song at all.
44
You forgot the part about there lives being more
45
Pleasent
46
Then there future ones.
47
This may be a version of "To Life", but it's not the
48
Version from either the play or the movie. In "Fiddler,"
49
The song is about the wedding of Tevye's daughter.
50
To Life
51
Here's to our prosperity, our good health and happiness,
52
And most important...
53
To life, to life, la kayim,
54
La kayim, la kayim, to life,
55
Here's to the father I tried to be,
56
Here's to my bride-to-be,
57
Drink la kayim, to life,
58
To life, la kayim,
59
La kayim, la kayim, to life,
60
Life has a way of confusing us,
61
Blessing and bruising us,
62
Drink la kayim, to life!
63
God would like us to be joyful, even when our hearts lie
64
Panting on the floor.
65
How much more can we be joyful, when there's really
66
Something to be joyful for?
67
To life, to life, la kayim,
68
To Tzeitel, my daughter--my wife,
69
It gives you something to think about,
70
Something to drink about,
71
Drink la kayim, to life!
72
(Le Morta!
73
Yes, Lazar Wolf?
74
Drinks for everyone!
75
What's the occasion?
76
I'm taking myself a bride!
77
Who is it?
78
Tevye's eldest, Tzeitel!)
79
To Lazar Wolf--
80
To Tevye!
81
To Tzeitel, your daughter--my wife!
82
May all your futures be pleasant ones,
83
Not like our present ones,
84
Drink la kayim, to life,
85
To life, la kayim,
86
La kayim, la kayim, to life,
87
It takes a wedding to make us say,
88
"Let's live another day,"
89
Drink la kayim, to life!
90
We'll raise a glass and sip a drop of schnapps in honor of
91
The great
92
Good luck that favors you,
93
We know that when good fortune favors two such men, it
94
Stands to reason,
95
We deserve it too!
96
To us and our good fortune!
97
Be happy, be healthy, long life!
98
And if our good fortune never comes,
99
Here's to whatever comes,
100
Drink la kayim, to life!
101
Heaven bless you both, to your health and may we live
102
Together in peace!
103
May you both be favored with the future of your choice,
104
May you live to see a thousand reasons to rejoice!
105
We'll raise a glass and sip a drop of schnapps in honor of
106
The great
107
Good luck that favors you,
108
We know that when good fortune favors two such men, it
109
Stands to reason,
110
We deserve it too!
111
To us and our good fortune!
112
Be happy, be healthy, long life!
113
And if our good fortune never comes,
114
Here's to whatever comes,
115
Drink la kayim, to life!
