Notes
This song can be found on Karsten Troyke's CD "Grine Blatter". Click here for more information about the CD. The following comments are from the singer's website: "It is thanks to Sara Bialas, who lives in Berlin, that we could sing the Yiddish Tango; otherwise it would have been forgotten. As a child in a concentration camp near Czestochova (Poland), she has never recovered from her experiences there. At the same time, she remembers the few pleasant moments, for example, when the Viennese operetta singer, Minna Spielmann, who was imprisoned with Sara, sang this Yiddish Shlager: "Oh, take me beloved - that was our song. Later I met another girl and she, too, left me. Today I am alone and drink strong wine in pubs.""
