May all your futures be pleasant ones
Not like our present ones
Drink l'chaim, to life
To life, l'chaim
L'chaim, l'chaim, to life
It takes a wedding to make us say
"Let's live another day"
Drink l'chaim, to life
We'll raise a glass and sip a drop of schnapps
In honor of the great good luck that favored 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'chaim, to life

Hey!
May you both be favored with the future of your choice
May you live to see a thousand reasons to rejoice
Za va shas da rovia
Heaven bless you both, nasdrovia
To your health and may we
Live together in peace
Hey!
[Instrumental Break]
[TEVYE, spoken]
To life!
