Yiddish
Transcription and back-translation by Lily Kahn, Lecturer in Hebrew, UCL
אויב הויכע מײַלעס זײַנענ שיינ,
איז אײַער איידעמס שוואַרצקײַט פול מיט כיינ.
If great (lit: high) virtues are beautiful,
Your son-in-law’s blackness is full of (lit: with) charm.
(Note: In Yiddish this is a rhyming couplet.)
Note: this Yiddish translation is written in the Soviet Yiddish orthography, which differs to a certain extent from Standard Yiddish orthography.
