Lyrics To Life - London Festival Orchestra feat. The London Festival Chorus & Stanley Black
To
life!
To
life!
L'chai-im!
L'chai-im,
l'chai-im,
to
life!
If
you've
been
lucky,
then
Monday
was
No
worse
than
Sunday
Was,
Drink
l'chai-im,
to
life.
To
life,
l'chai-im!
L'chai-im,
l'chai-im,
to
life!
One
day
it's
honey
and
raisin
cake,
Next
day
a
stomach
ache,
Drink
L'chai-im,
to
life!
Our
great
men
have
written
words
of
Wisdom
to
be
used
When
hardship
must
be
faced;
Life
obliges
us
with
hardship
So
the
words
of
wisdom
Shouldn't
go
to
waste.
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,
to
life,
l'chai-im,!
L'chai-im,
l'chai-im,
to
life!
Life
has
a
way
of
confusing
us
Blessing
and
bruising
us,
Drink
l'chaim,
to
life,
To
life,
l'chaim!
L'chaim,
l'chaim,
to
life!
A
gift
we
seldom
are
wise
enough
Ever
to
prize
enough,
Drink
l'chaim,
to
life!
God
would
like
us
to
be
joyful
Even
though
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'chai-im!
L'chai-im,
l'chai-im,
to
life!
It
gives
you
something
to
think
about,
Something
to
drink
about,
Drink
l'chai-im,
to
life!
l'chai-im!
The
blessing
and
bruising
us
part
comes
first.
The
honey
and
raisin
cake
is
not
in
the
song
at
all.
You
forgot
the
part
about
there
lives
being
more
Pleasent
Then
there
future
ones.
This
may
be
a
version
of
"To
Life",
but
it's
not
the
Version
from
either
the
play
or
the
movie.
In
"Fiddler,"
The
song
is
about
the
wedding
of
Tevye's
daughter.
To
Life
Here's
to
our
prosperity,
our
good
health
and
happiness,
And
most
important
...
To
life,
to
life,
la
kayim,
La
kayim,
la
kayim,
to
life,
Here's
to
the
father
I
tried
to
be,
Here's
to
my
bride-to-be,
Drink
la
kayim,
to
life,
To
life,
la
kayim,
La
kayim,
la
kayim,
to
life,
Life
has
a
way
of
confusing
us,
Blessing
and
bruising
us,
Drink
la
kayim,
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,
la
kayim,
To
Tzeitel,
my
daughter--my
wife,
It
gives
you
something
to
think
about,
Something
to
drink
about,
Drink
la
kayim,
to
life!
(Le
Morta!
Yes,
Lazar
Wolf?
Drinks
for
everyone!
What's
the
occasion?
I'm
taking
myself
a
bride!
Who
is
it?
Tevye's
eldest,
Tzeitel!)
To
Lazar
Wolf--
To
Tevye!
To
Tzeitel,
your
daughter--my
wife!
May
all
your
futures
be
pleasant
ones,
Not

present
ones,
Drink

kayim,
to
life,
To
life,
la
kayim,
La
kayim,
la
kayim,
to
life,
It
takes
a
wedding
to
make
us
say,
"Let's
live
another
day,"
Drink
la
kayim,
to
life!
We'll
raise
a
glass
and
sip
a
drop
of
schnapps
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,
Drink
la
kayim,
to
life!
Heaven
bless
you
both,
to
your
health
and
may
we
live
Together
in
peace!
May
you
both
be
favored
with
the
future
of
your
choice,
May
you
live
to
see
a
thousand
reasons
to
rejoice!
We'll
raise
