Yiddish Lyrics
Vilne, shtot fun gayst un tmimes
Vilne yiddishlekh fartrakht,
Vu es murmlen shtile tfiles,
Shtile soydes fun der nakht.
Oft mol ze ikh dir in kholem,
Heys gelibte vilne mayn,
U di alte vilner geto
In a nepldikn shayn.
Vilne, vilne, undzer heymshtot,
Undzer benkshaft un bager.
Akh, vi oft es ruft dayn nomen
Fun mayn oyg aroys a trer.
Vilner geslekh, vilner taykhn,
Vilner velder, barg un tol.
Epes noyet, epes benkt zikh
Nokh di tsaytn fun amol.

Comments by Wolf Krakowski: I directed a docu-music video of the song set to images of inter-War Jewish Vilna(6:30 min.. B&W;) featuring the singing of Fraidy Katz (and Klezamir) in 1992, The video was employed by Survivors of Shoah Visual History Foundation in 1994-5 as a sensitizing tool for potential interviewers on the "Speilberg Project" ( I directed 114 Survivor interviews). It has been presented at the First Northampton Film Festival, and elsewhere. It received an Honorable mention from USA Homegrown Video. Ordering info available at Kame'a Media Website: www.kamea.com
