作曲 : Jerry Bock/Sheldon Harnick
To our agreement,
To our prosperity,
Reb Morta! Reb Morta!
Yes, what is it? Lazar Wolf?
To good health and happiness,
Drinks for everybody!
And most important,
To life, to life, l'chai-im,
L'chai-im, l'chai-im, to life.
Here's to the father I tried to be!
Here's to my bride-to-be!
Drink, l'chai-im, to life!
To life, l'chai-im.
L'chai-im, l'chai-im, to life.
Life has a way of confusing us,
Blessing and bruising us.
Drink, l'chai-im, 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, l'chai-im.
To Tzeitel, my daughter.
My wife!
It gives you something to think about,
Something to drink about.
Drink, l'chai-im, to life.
What's the occasion?
I'm taking myself a bride!
Tevye's elderest, Tzeitel.
To Lazar Wulf! To Tevye!
To Tzeitel, your daughter!
My wife!
May all your futures be pleasant ones,
Not like our present ones!
Drink, l'chai-im, to life!
We'll raise a glass and sip a drop of schnappes,
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 l'chai-im, to life!
