Life Has a Way of Confusing Us,
Blessing and Bruising Us.
Drink, L'chaim, to Life!

God Would Like Us to Be Joyful,
Even When Our Hearts Lie Panting On the Floor.
How Much More Should We Be Joyful
When There's Really Something to Be Joyful For?

To Life, to Life, L'chaim.
To Tzeitel, My Daughter.
My Wife.
It Gives You Something to Think About,
Something to Drink About.
Drink, L'chaim, to Life.

My Wife!
May All Your Futures Be Pleasant Ones,
Not Like Our Present Ones!

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 Schnappes
In Honor of the Great Good Luck That Favors 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.
