Lyrics To Life - Fiddler on the Roof Ensemble, Zero Mostel, Michael Granger & Rose Gifford

Here's to our prosperity
Our good health and happiness
And most important

To life!
To life!
L'chaim!
L'chaim, l'chaim, to life!
Here's to the father I tried to be
Here's to my bride-to-be
Drink l'chaim, to life!

To life, l'chaim
L'chaim, l'chaim, to life
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 can 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!

Le Morta!
Yes, Lazar Wolf?
Drinks for everybody!
What's the occasion?
I'm taking myself a bride!
Who is it?
Tevye's eldest, Tzeitel!
(Mazel Tov!)

To Lazar Wolf!
To Tevye!
To Tzeitel, your daughter (my wife!)
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!

Za vashe zdorovye
Heaven bless you both, na zdrowye!
To your health and may we
Live together in peace!

Za vashe zdorovye
Heaven bless you both, na zdrowye!
To your health and may we
Live together in peace!
Hey!

May you both be favored with the future of your choice
May you live to see a thousand reasons to rejoice!

Za vashe zdorovye
Heaven bless you both, na zdrowye!
To your health and may we
Live together in peace!

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!
(To life!)
