According to my Polish (Lublin) mother, this song was one of many sung & dramatically acted out for entertainment at weddings in the days when unmarried men & women could dance together only by holding the opposite corners of a handkercheif high in the air between them.

------------- let's go -------------------
Still the white sail in the distance, against black and heavy cloud. All we ask is: let it be. And through the windows of the evening festival candles flicker. All we ask is: let it be.
Let it be, let it be, O please let it be. All we ask, let it be.
What answering voice do I hear? The voice of a shofar and the voice of drums. All we ask is: let it be. May you also hear among all these one prayer from me. All we ask is: let it be.
Within the small shadowed neighborhood is a small house with a red roof. All we ask is: let it be. It is the summer's end, the end of the road; let them return here. All we ask is: let it be.
And if suddenly, the light of a star will shine from the darkness upon our heads, all we ask is: let it be. Then, give calm and also give strength to all those whom we love. All we ask is: let it be.
If tidings come to the door, give a good word. All we ask is: let it be. "If you decide to die," she asks, "from the blossoming or from the harvest?" All we ask is: let it be.

I wish you could hear the way it is sung at Congregation Albert in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It is sung with an incredibly beautiful melody by Rabbi Joe Black (recording artist) and the talented cantor Jaqueline Schucat-Marx. I've never heard it anywhere else done that way, but I adore it. Call them and ask for a tape, or a sample, why don't you? You'd sell a million of their version!

A Sephardic Turkish love song. "Aman" is like the Yiddish "Oy vey!" "Aman" is the Sephardic version of Haman, the villain in the book of Esther, who wanted to kill the Jews and ended up himself hung from a gibbet on Purim day. Kusun is a corrupted form of the Turkish word "kusum" (my love!) Sheker means "sweet" in Turkish.

This is practically my favorite song... mostly because our city's symphony did a 'Klezmer Rondo' last year, and our conductor read that poem. In English, yes, but it was weird when I later bought the album and found that poem there. It's a really rough translation because I couldn't find my CD slip-cover, which, although it only has the Yiddish (I mean, with the _actual_ alef-beyz) and the English, would have been _very_ helpful, since trying to figure out words from an audio file is... well, difficult. Oh well... cist la vie? Er, now I'm putting Frenchthat I can't spell in a comment on a Yiddish song... Oy.
PLEASE, anyone who has the lyrics or the poem, fill in the gaps! _something_ looks so ridiculous! Also, I couldn't find out who the author was, either. Sigh.

This is a Sephardic Moroccan bride song from Tangiers. There is a hidden deeper religious meaning behind the text.It is about a bride who has nothing but her beauty and loveliness. She should not be given away for money..only for true love. But the bride in this song is also the Shabbath.
This wedding song is related to the Marocian custom
to hang coins at the bride's cloth.
