Translated lyrics
"I would sell my boots and go with you on a coach just to be with you. You without me, me without you Would be like a doorknob without a door, My little kitten, my little bird. I would sell handkerchiefs at the railroad station just to be with you You without me, me without you Would be like a doorknob without a door, My little kitten, my little bird. I would eat without a table And sleep without a pillow just to be with you... You without me, me without you Would be like a doorknob without a door, My little kitten, my little bird. I would sleep at the railroad station and wash a floor there just to be with you... You without me, me without you Would be like a doorknob without a door, My little kitten, my little bird."
Notes
On the 1994 disc Beyond the Pale, Michael Alpert performs “Di Sapozhkelekh” (The Boots), a song which he learned from Ukrainian-born immigrant Bronya Sakina. This song is on one of the Mazeltones recordings ("Meshugge for You", I think) and also the Mejoeches CD: both say in the cover notes that they got it from Bronja Sakina. The clip featured here is by the Goniffs Klezmer Band.
