Lyrics

[00:00.000] To our prosperity
[00:02.740] To good health and happiness
[00:05.700] And most important
[00:08.710] To life, to life, l'chaim.
[00:12.370] L'chaim, l'chaim, to life.
[00:15.460] Here's to the father I tried to be!
[00:17.860] Here's to the bride to be!
[00:20.080] Drink, l'chaim, to life!
[00:22.170] To life, to life, l'chaim.
[00:25.170] L'chaim, l'chaim, to life.
[00:28.380] Life has a way of confusing us,
[00:30.640] Blessing and bruising us.
[00:32.690] Drink, l'chaim, to life!
[00:36.220] God would like us to be joyful,
[00:39.010] Even when our hearts lie panting on the floor.
[00:43.680] How much more should we be joyful
[00:46.480] When there's really something to be joyful for?
[00:51.040] To life, to life, l'chaim.
[00:54.660] To Tzeitel, my daughter.
[00:56.510] My wife.
[00:58.110] It gives you something to think about,
[01:00.180] Something to drink about.
[01:02.350] Drink, l'chaim, to life.
[01:09.250] Bartend!
[01:10.300] Yes, what is it? Lazar Wolf?
[01:11.690] Bartend, Drinks for everybody!
[01:14.890] What's the big occasion?
[01:16.650] I'm taking myself a bride!
[01:19.460] Who's the lucky one?
[01:21.050] Tevye's elderest, Tzeitel.
[01:23.200] Mazel tov!
[01:24.800] To Lazar Wulf! To Tevye!
[01:27.830] To Tzeitel, your daughter!
[01:29.380] My wife!
[01:30.780] May all your futures be pleasant ones,
[01:32.730] Not like our present ones!
[01:34.640] Drink, l'chaim, to life!
[01:36.750] To life, to life, l'chaim!
[01:39.300] L'chaim, l'chaim, to life!
[01:42.260] It takes a wedding to make us say,
[01:44.470] "Let's live another day." “
[01:46.070] Drink, l'chaim, to life!
[01:49.330] We'll raise a glass and sip a drop of schnappes
[01:51.820] In honor of the great good luck that favors you.
[01:55.270] We know that when good fortune favors two such men,
[01:57.830] It stands to reason we deserve it, too!
[02:02.390] To us and our good fortune.
[02:05.700] Be happy! Be healthy! Long life!
[02:08.790] And if our good fortune never comes,
[02:10.850] Here's to whatever comes.
[02:12.810] Drink l'chaim, to life!
[02:50.940] Sava, shastarovya, Heaven bless you both! Mastrovya!(
[03:02.990] To your health ,and may we live together in peace.
[03:13.220] Sava, shastarovya, heaven bless you both, mastrovya!
[03:20.940] To your health, and may we live together in peace.
[03:25.300] May you both be favored with the future of your choice!
[03:28.410] May you live to see a thousand reasons to rejoice!
[03:31.660] Sava, shastarovya, heaven bless you both. Mastrovya!
[03:34.880] To your health, and may we live together in peace!
[06:11.780] To Life!
