A Chazandl Oyf Shabes Traditional Traditional Yiddish A great humorous song about men who are married to their work. Cantor Seymour Rockoff, currently in Harrisburg PA has recorded a more modern version of the song-- still in Yiddish-- featuring a radiologist, a dentist,and an 'entertainer' as the congregants.
A Din Toire Mit Got (A Judgement of God) Rev Levi Yitskhok Rev Levi Yitskhok Yiddish Also known as Kaddish Of Levi Yitskhok There's another verse, which ends with "yisgadal and yisbarach shemo raba" I believe there's a Jan Peerce recording which includes that.

A Pintale Trad Theodore Bikel Yiddish Right Chassidic Dynasty - Wrong Rebbe. The song refers to the first Chabad Rebbe - Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi. The surname Schneerson was not used until Rabbi Shneur Zalman's Grandson - The Tzemach Tzedek, and by that time they lived in Lubavitch.
A Yiddish Meydl Darf a Yidishn Boy Alexander Olshanetsky Jacob Jacobs Yiddish I beleive that the first line ends with yingl, and not "boy." I am from New York (just returned from a visit there) but live in Israel now. It might be of interest to you that a large group of people meet here in Haifa, about six times a year, every other month, and with a musical accompaniment sing Yiddish songs, many of which, I, who used to listen with my parents to WEVD radio, never heard of. Unfortunately I haven't seen anyone under 40 there. I insisted that both my daughters take a course in Yiddish (given at that time at Queens college in NYC. A Yiddish actress (Miriam Kressen) gave the course, but it didn't help. I believe they still understand Yiddish to some extent; my parents spoke only Yiddish. The way things are going it is a terrible loss, but probably inevitable.As you may know, in the States many of the instructors in colleges that offer Yiddish are not Jews. theI believe that the first line ends with yingl, and not "boy."

Avreml Der Marvikher Mordecai Gebirtig Mordecai Gebirtig English
Az Der Rebbe Yiddish Frequently mistaken today for a Chassidic song, this originated as a Misnaggdishe song, mocking Chassidim for following rebbes without thinking for themselves. As the controversy died down, the original meaning of the song was lost, and the popular tune took on the opposite of its original meaning. Peter Stark, 4/10/2002 Whatever the rabbi does - the khasidim follow him -- except when he talks, which is when they stifle their mimicry and absorb his wisdom. A nice twist in the last verse. This is a great, joyous song, one of my favorites.

Bendigamos A El Altisimo Unknown Unknown Ladino This is a song in old Spanish with Hebrew words mixed in, but I think not exactly Ladino. It was taught to me by Josette Goldish, a native of Curacao (Netherlands Antilles). The Judao-Portugese dialect spoken on Curacao was Papiamento THE LANGUAGE USED IN THIS SONG IS PAPIAMENTO, THE PORTUGUESE DIALECT USED IN ARUBA, NETHERLANDS ANTILLES AND NEARBY. ITS ORIGIN IS THE PORTUGUESE LANGUAGE USED BY THE JEWISH COMMUNITY IN BRAZIL, AND THE AFRICAN SLAVES PROVIDED BY THE PORTUGUESE TO THESE DUTCH TERRITORIES. THE JEWS WERE ALMOST VANISHED FROM BRAZIL AFTER THE LIBERATION OF THE CONQUERED DUTCH TERRITORIES IN THE NORTHEASTERN. THE FIRST JEWISH SINAGOGUE IN THE AMERICAS WERE FOUND IN RECIFE, PERNAMBUCO STATE, IN 1615. THEY MIGRATED TO THE NETHERLANDS, UK, AND NETHERLANDS ANTILLES AFTER THIS EXPULSION.

Der International elvis crespo suavemente English The Yiddish version of the International, the Communist anthem. (from Mendele, February 12): In reply to Ron Kuzar's questions (Mendele 09.056), here are a few answers gleaned from examining the sheet music, published by Metro Music in New York. The original copyright in 1912 was by Joseph P. Katz, and was assigned in 1927 to Henry Lefkowitch. The sheet music attributes the music and arrangement to Eugene Potter and Max Persin, respectively. The English version is by Charles H. Kerr. The yiddish version, not precisely a translation, is given, but no mention is made of the author. The covers are printed in red, and the catalogue of music on the back cover is printed in Russian. Mint copies of the sheet music are available from the National Yiddish Book Center in Amherst, Mass. L'Internationale (The International) was a revolutionary song that emerged in connection with the development of the working class movement in late nineteenth-century France. The words are by Pottier (1871) and the music by Degeyter. L'Internationale has since come to be associated with all communist movements, and is still sung standing with fist clenched to symbolize working class solidarity.

Der shir hashirim fun Mendl Pumshtok English from http://savethemusic.com/yiddish/kumzitz/question002.html : It appears in a paper by Ruth R. Wisse entitled "Language as Fate: Reflections on Jewish Literature in America", a paper published in the 1996 Studies in Contemporary Jewry (Vol. 12), pages 129- 147, Oxford University Press. The volume is subtitled Literary Strategies: Jewish Texts and Contexts. Ruth Wisse (b'sheim omro) says that she got these lines from Lucy Dawidowicz, who got them from Chaim Raphael, who got them from Daniel Bell. Alas, I could not find the original in any of SaulBellow's papers on deposit at the University of Chicago library. Bellow assisted Isaac Rosenfeld in its composition, and I could not find the original in any of Rosenfeld's books. Thus this is, as Ruth Wisse says, an oral tradition that she finally recorded on paper.
Di Ban (The Train) Yiddish
Di Blum Eliakum Tsunzer Yiddish Eliakum Zunser, was felt by many to have been the greatest Badkhan of all time, was a prolific writer and entertainer. He and his little brother were both Cantonists (Cantonists were drafted for 25 years into the Czar's army). When Czar Alexander abolished the 25 year conscriptions of Jews in 1860, abolished serfdom, and lifted residence restrictions, many Russian Jews had great hope for a better future (unfortunately Alexander would disappoint them in that hope within 2 years). Zunser wrote this song in which the Jewish people are characterized as a wilting flower on the road and Czar Alexander as an angel who rescued the poor flower. Zunser was a member of the Narodne Volye movement, a group containing many Jewish slavophiles including Eliezer Ben Yehuda. My grandmother, Sarah Kayleh Benjamin, a native of Streshin, Belarus used to sing this song, and recalled it as having been quite popular among Russian Jews at the turn of the century.

Di Zukunft (The Future) Morris Winchefsky (1856-1932) Yiddish The following notes appear on this page: ht tp://www.yourinter.net/dgeisen/sourcesshayna.htm: The second verse of Di Zukunft is sung to Rose by Lusia in Barbara Lebow's A Shayna Maidel, Act 2, scene 3. The song is most likely one of many spirited songs sung by members of the Bund, a Jewish political association committed to socialism. The "Sotzialistisher Kinder Farbund" (Yiddish for the Socialist Children's Organization), was the youth movement of the Bund and was founded in Poland in 1927. Tsukunft, (Yiddish for "future") became the name adopted by the young adult movement within the Bund. It was certainly sung by youth groups affiliated with The Workman's Circle in the United States. The socialist idealism of the Bund is reflected in the song's lyrics. Whether or not Lusia, Duvid or Hanna were ever associated with the Bund is, of course, pure speculation on fictional characters in a play. However, Lusia tells Rose that Hanna and she had sung the song in the camps. The song, as she sings it for Rose, is a bittersweet memory of her husband, her friend Hanna, and of their idealistic dreams of their youth. The following is my own translation based on the Yiddish version of the song with words by Morris Winchefsky (1856-1932) who used the pen name of Lipe Bentsion Novochovitch. His lyrics, along with the melody of the song, appear in Songs of Generations: New Pearls of Yiddish Song. Edited by Eleanor and Joseph Mlotek. New York: The Workman's Circle. A recording of the song performed by the Workman's Circle Chorus, as well as permission to perform the song, may be obtained by contacting Joseph Mlotek, Education Director, The Workman's Circle, 45 E. 33rd St., New York, NY 10016 (tel. 212- 889-6800).

Dos Talisl H. Wohl Yiddish (reprinted from Mendele) Bernard Katz asked about lyrics to a song identified by Nina Warnke as "Dos Talisl." Until someone can provide more complete details, here's what I know. I've got an LP (vintage late 1950s - early 1960s?) called "Songs my mother sang to me" by the Malavsky Family Choir, issued under Tikva Records (record T-2?). The version is short and lachrymose -- not surprisingly, given the theme -- and includes a spoken monologue presumably written by the Malavskys. The LP credits the song to one "H. Wohl." I believe I've seen a longer version in sheet music somewhere, but I don't own it. It may be melodramatic, but I like the rendition. This song can be found on CD Malevsky Family Yossele Rosenblatt has a recording of this song as well.

I also have no idea how traditional these lyrics were -- Gorby was not above changing lyrics to suit her purposes.

El Rey por Muncha madruga anon Judeo-spanish Songs dealing with the issuse of adultery are the exception in Ladino music. In this story, the queen's unconscious admission of an extra- marital relationship results in her quite literally losing her head the allusion to the 'red necklace).(the white dress was the manner in which those condemned to Death were clothed in.) If memory serves, Alhambra recorded this song
El Suenyo Profetico (El Rey de Francia tres hijas tenia) traditional Judeo-spanish To listen to a clip connect with jpc, search for " sephar* ", and click details of Gazelle and Flee. The following comment is from the booklet of the CD. Countless variants survive in transcription of romansas which begin with the reference to "the daughter of the King of France", the youngest of the mandatory three daughtera. Obviousiy what has been "saved" (and ossified) through transcription is but the tip of a huge iceberg of multitudinous variants dealing with the adventures of this royal princess. The story related in this variant begins with the "dream of the princess", indicating its Greek provenience. Like a biblical prophet, her mother interprets and explains the symbolic meaning of each of the strange things her daughter saw in a dream. From this juncture, the rest of the story unfolds as a series of sign-posted events, which are difficult to interpret due to a lack of a shared cultural memory and knowledge of linguistic dialects. It would he futile to discuss here the "origin" of the story of the royal princess who has strange dreams and then travels off to adventures in a far-away country with her new hushand. By its very nature the romansa is a pot-pourri, an olio, of variable elements patched together from old and new sources. The story hinted al here may well be a variant on a popular Turhish folk-tale publishcd in the Seyahatname ("Book of Travels") compilcd in the 17th century by the Ottoman traveller Evliya Celebi. In his variant, Emperor Constantine XI, who lost Constantinople and his Orthodox Christian Empire in 1453 to Sultan Mehmed II, had been engaged to the daughter of the King of France. After the fleet of ships bringing her and her dowry (collected by piracy en route) was captured by the Turks. she became the wife of the Muslim Sultan Mehmed, not the Christian Emperor Constantine. She was thus the mother of Sultan Bayezid II. In the version presented here a number of foreign words, Arabic, Hebrew and Turkish, are peppered throughout the Judeo-Spanish text which confirm its Ottoman connection but also obscure the decipherment of the final events which lead to the "sad, bitter" return.

David Goldberg (Evanston, IL: Northwestern University Press and YIVO, 1993), 243-62. ---------------------------------------------------- From Sam Weiss: I had remembered this folksong as appearing in the Schack- Cohen Yiddish Folk Songs collection, but I could not find it in the copy that I had. On closer inspection I noticed that there is a blanked-out entry for a song #22 in the table of contents, as well as in the song summaries section. Since this copy is the 5th edition published in 1950, Im assuming that "Geyt a goy in shenkl arayn" is the censored song. Abe Ellstein wrote an arrangement of the song in 1926. -----------------------------------------------------
