Lyrics of the original folksong (English translation follows)
Ale vasserlech flisn avek,
di gribelech blaybn leydik.
Nito aza mentsh oyf gor der velt,
vos zol farsteyn mayn veytik.
Di yorelech tsien, di yorelech flien,
di tsayt geyt avek vi roych,
un az ich dermon zich on dir, mayn zis lebn,
geyt mir oys der ko'ech.
Un aza meydele shpilt a libe, shpilt in ir alle farbn
un az zi shpilt ir libe nit oys,
ken zi cholile noch shtarbn.
Un az de tepelech trinkenen oys
blaybn zey ale leydik
un az a meydele firt ir libe nit oys
vert zi farfalln oyf eybik.
All the waters flow away
The little ditches remain dry
There is nobody on this whole earth
who can understand my pain
The years drag on, the years flee
Time goes away like smoke
and when I think of you, my sweet life
I lose my strength
And when a young girl plays at love
all the colours play in her
and if she doesn't play her love for real
she can - G*d forbid - still die.
And when the water jars run out
they all remain dry
and when a young girl doesn't play her love for real
she will pine away for ever.

After arranging the Yiddish lullaby Amol iz geven a Mayse for voice and 2 violins*
I realised it would also work very well with cor anglais [English Horn as they say in the USA] and 2 violins (with a couple of verses in the cor anglais transposed down for variety)
So here it is.
BTW Here is the vocal version:

This is a version of my arrangement of Amol iz geven a Mayse which was specially requested.
The vocal part can be sung by a soprano, treble or tenor and the accompanying instruments are two violins.
The sound sample uses a cor anglais sound for the vocal part.
A version with simplified violin parts is also available at:

This is a Yiddish folksong arranged for oboe d'amore and classical guitar
The original words are as follows (English version shown below)
Amol is gevén a mayse
Di mayse iz gor nisht freylich
Di mayse heybt zikh on
Mit a yidishn meylekh
Lyulinke mayn feygele
Lyulinke mayn kind
Kh'hob ongevorn aza libe
Wey iz mir un vint
Der meylekh hot gehat a malke
Di malke hot gehat a vayngortn
Im vayngorten hot gehat a boym
Wey iz mir un vint
Der boym hot gehat a tsvayg
Der tsvayg hot gehat a nestele
In nestele iz gevén a feygele
Wey iz mir un vint
Der meylekh iz opgestorben
Di malke is gevorn fardorben
Der tsvayg iz opgebrochen
Di fegele vun nest antlofen
Vu nemt men aza chochem
Er zol kennen de shtern zeylen
Vu nemt men aza dokter
Er zol kennen mayn horts heylen?
There was a tale
not at all a happy tale
It starts with a Jewish king
Lullaby my little bird, lullaby my child
I have lost my love
I am sad and sore hurt
The king had a queen
The queen had a vineyard
In the vineyard was a tree
I am sad and sore hurt
On the tree was a branch
On the branch was a little nest
In the nest was a little bird
I am sad and sore hurt
The king died
The queen pined away
The branch broke
The bird flew from the nest
Where can we find a learned man
who can count the stars
Where can we find a doctor
who can heal my heart
The sound sample here comes from the original performance of the song for alto voice and guitar at the concert in Manchester in 2009.

Lyrics of the original folksong (English translation follows)
Oyfn yam ve'et a vintele ve'et a vintele
un di khvalyes shlogn un di khvalyes shlogn
Khob zikh farlibt in a sheen yingele
khob nit farvemen tzu zogn
Ikh hob zikh g'boyt a shtibele g'boyt a shtibele
arum un arum mit fenster arum un arum mit fenster
Fun d'ale kartinkes vos ikh hob g'senn
bist du bay mir der sheenster
On the sea the wind is blowing
and the waves are breaking
I'm in love with a handsome youth
But I'm too shy to say anything
I have build a little house
with windows all around
Of all the pictures I have seen
You are the most beautiful in my home.
