To the tune of Lulei Torascha by Mordechai Ben David

Yankele walks along, through the forest,
Suddenly he realizes, his father is not there.
With trembling hands, he looks around,
frightened and clueless,
Quickly-though, he regains control, “I will not be scared.”
CHORUS:
Pa-a-ayedim we, must carry on,
despite these bitter hardships~we continue on, our shlichus strong, the Rebbe’s sons.
Pa-a-ayedim we, are not alone,
although it’s dark and hard yet we are not afraid, our goal is made, we’re going home.
Yankele is not alone, in the forest,
For his father’s left behind specific directions.
He knows if he continues marching onward,
Very-soon, he will be, back at home.
CHORUS:
Pa-a-ayedim we, must carry on,
despite these bitter hardships-we continue on, our shlichus strong, the Rebbe’s sons.
Pa-a-ayedim we, are not alone,
although it’s dark and hard yet we are not afraid, we’re going home, we’re going home.
