Herman Yablokoff English translation: A cold night, foggy, and darkness everywhere A boy stands sadly and looks around. Only a wall protects him from the rain He holds a basket in his hand and his eyes beg everyone silently: I don’t have any strength left to walk the streets hungry and ragged, wet from the rain, I shlep around from dawn. Nobody gives me any earnings, everyone laughs and makes fun of me Buy my cigarettes! Dry ones, not wet from the rain Buy real cheap, Buy and have pity on me. Save me from hunger now Buy my matches, wonderful ones, the best, and with that you will uplift an orphan. My screaming and my running will be for naught. Nobody wants to buy from me – everyone laughs and makes fun of me. My father lost his hands in the war My mother couldn’t bear her troubles anymore And was driven to her grave at a young age I was left on this earth unhappy and alone like a stone. Buy my cigarettes! Dry ones, not wet from the rain Buy real cheap, Buy and have pity on me. Save me from hunger now Buy my matches, wonderful ones, the best, and with that you will uplift an orphan. My screaming and my running will be for naught. Nobody wants to buy from me – I will have to perish like a dog.
