    The document contains lyrics in Yiddish for the song "Tum Balalaika Chords". The song is about a boy who stands and thinks all night about who to choose but not for oil. It then repeats the chorus which contains the lyrics "Tum balalaika, tum balalaika, tumbalalaika, play the balalaika - it should be cheerful". The second verse has the boy asking what can grow without rain and what can burn but not go out. The third verse calls the boy foolish and answers that a stone can grow without rain, love can burn but not go out, and a heart can think, cry and mourn.
