please permit a slight preface to this question: Back in the 1930s yiddish mother song, as my non-yiddish ear got it,
"Aye di rebbetzin, ashe (ah-sha?) geyt di rebbetzin, ashe geyt, ashe sheyt, shtu(m)p de rebbe mit".

Now, after 35 years, the song turns out to be a variation of a KLEZMER SONG titled DI REBBETZIN, which first line seems to end "aza yor af mir".
At last the question 1. what is the first line of DI REBBETZIN and can you TRANSLATE IT for me.
