Essen Est Zich

Lyrics:

Transliteration:

Essen Est Zich Trinken Trinkt Zich,
Vos Zol Men Ton As Es Davent Zich Nit.
Essen Est Zich Shloffen Shloft Zich,
Vos Zol Men Ton As Es Lerent Zich Nit.

Translation:

Eating comes naturally; drinking and sleeping come naturally, but praying and studying Torah Seems to take much effort.

Chassidic Folksong

This melody abounds in feeling and is appropriate to the thought expressed. The Chassid reflects upon and bemoans his failure at not having felt sufficient emotion and inspiration in prayer and study of Torah. The closing doca (section) expresses the hope of the Chassid that he will eventually be able to approach the brilliance and the divine radiance of the L-rd and his Torah.
