un veynt far zikh eynem aleyn.
2.
di zun vet arunter geyn untern barg
vet kumen di goldene pave tsu flien,
un mitnemen vet zi undz ale ahin,
ahin vu di benkshaft ve tsien.
3.
di zun vet arunter geyn untern barg,
vet kumen di nakht un vet zingen lyu lyu
ariber di oygn vos faln shoyn tsu,
tsu shlofn in eybiker ru.
Translation
1.
Behind the tall mountain the sun will soon set
In silence the love that I feel will enfold
The loneliness seated upon stone of gold
That weeps for itself as of old.
2.
Behind the tall mountain the sun will soon set,
The bright golden peacock will flutter our way,
And take us all with him so far, far away
Wherever deep longing may say,
And take us all with him so far far away
3.
Behind the tall mountain the sun will soon set,
The night will arrive singing its lullaby,
And heavy with sleep, it will close every eye,
Eternal rest is its sad cry.
And heavy with sleep, it will close every eye,
Eternal rest is its sad cry.
A beautiful song with beautiful words... here performed by my favorite klezmer group The Klezmatics from their CD Rhythm and Jews
