AYNER IS FUN UNDZ GESHTORBN!!!
The following "lighter" version of this song was recently
on the Yiddish Radio Project on NPR.
It was originally sung by the Barry sisters.
This version begins and ends with a slightly modified version of the original Yiddish chorus, and there is an alternate English chorus between the verses.
CHORUS:
Yidl mit dem fidl, tevye mit dem bass
shpil she mir a lidele oyfn mitn gas
oy oy oy oy oy, oy oy oy oy oy
shpilshe mir a lidele oyfn mitn gas
English chorus:
Joseph with his fiddle,
Charlie with his bass,
They played diddle diddle
As they went from place to place
Once there were ten brothers And they organized a band
When they started playing Gee their music sounded grand(english chorus)
At a one night stand in Brooklyn
Joseph played "Sweet Adeline"
He fell asleep while playing
And the band just played with nine(EC)
Brooklyn blondes are beautiful
So Charlie made a date
She took him for a ride
And then the band was down to eight(EC)
Tschachen wedding And the bill collector took four more
The band went right on playing
Even though there were just four(EC)
The brothers kept on leaving Til just two were on the stand
Then they started fighting Over who would lead the band(EC)
You can just imagine
What their music sounded like
One man joined the union
And they called him out on strike(C)
Since it is the lyrics to my version of Tsen Brider that appear first, it is incorrect to write that the composer is "Ellstein." "Tsen Brider"'s origins are shrouded in the mists of time; it is a folksong. -- traditional and anonymous.
You should clarify that the Barry Sister's PARODY has lyrics by Ellstein -- not mine. It is erroneous to say that the Barry Sister's "Tsen Brider" is the "original" version of this song. Their "Tsen Brider" is a PARODY not a VERSION. There is a difference.
Thanks.

Sara: I just saw the movie Yidl mitn Fidl, with Molly Picon - it uses a version of this song. And there's another song on this website called Lenin mitn Fidl, and more comments there.

Written in 1939. Exactly who wrote the music, is still
unclear. Berman's daughter, Lucille, claims Nicky Grabowski,
a pianist who worked at Moskowitz and Lupowitz with Berman,
wrote the tune. It may have been
composed "by ear" by Berman/Grabowski and then
transcribed/arranged by Samuel Windish (professional name,
Sam Ward). This song was also covered by the Barry Sisters
and
was, as far as I know the only commercially realeased song
by Henry Berman (1945).

Another comment: This, one of the most popular of all Sephardic wedding songs, has survived in nearly all the Sephardic colonies, with very diverse tunes. All of the different versions feature one basic element which never changes:
the wine rue twig, which deflects the "evil eye"
and is therefore meant to bring the newly weds luck. |

This is a lovely song, very understated - should be sung with a knowing smile. The tradition of such lyrics relates to some of De Falla's 'siete canciones', especially the first one, which, through vast understatement, talks of an innocent cloth at a windowsill- but a cloth that alas, has a flaw in it (hence 'lost it's virginity'). |

A Medieval Spanish "Romance" taken to Morocco by the
sephardic Jews.
The story of this romance is based on the German epic
poem "Kudrun" from the early 13th century. This song
was probably transposed from the Arabian Peninsula to
Spain during the crusades. It tells of the rescue of Kudrun
by her brother Ortwin and Prince Herwig, following
thirteen years of humiliating captivity. Numerous forms
of the story are contained in the oral traditions of Spain,
Marocco, Greece, and Turkey (including "Don Buesco y su
hermana").
The octosyllabic version selected for this recording is
probably
more recent presumably "re-imported" to Spain from Marocco
by way of Andalusia. [from the booklet to a CD by Sarband] |

in the Vilno ghetto, words by Avraham Sutskever (1913-); music by Abraham Brudno (?-1944). It was first presented in the ghetto theater in the play " Di Yogenish in Fas" (the hunt in the barrel, a pun on Diogenes in a barrel.) It was first sung by Zlate Katcherginsky. After the liquidation of the ghetto, Suskever joined the partisan fighters. He survived the war and lives in Israel where he edits the literary quarterly "Di Goldene Keyt". The composer, Abraham Brudno, following the liquidation of the ghetto, was deported to a German concentration camp in Estonia, where he died. |

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.

STU LEWIS (TRANSLATOR) |
Hebrew |
I hope that I have been true to the spirit of the song. As I see it, the affirmation "It will be good" is a very tentative one, and I tried to capture that. My translation makes explicit what I believe to be the connection between the two halves of the chorus.
The word "lo" in verse 1 may not seem idiomatic, but I believe the original is making a reference to "Song of Songs," and I was trying to preserve that.
PS. I have heard many times a different version that
is about Saadats Visit to Israel...
Samuel Cohen
Bavid Broza added verses as history unfolded. There is a verse about Sadat's trip to J-lem. The main problem translating this song is the wonderful double-meanings don't survive.
isnt there also verse- "just let's get out of territories" but if this was translated than it's been erased.- YohananW.
hey Stu,
you came really close on most off it. some of your ideas are just bueatifull. i translated this song a while ago. i don't know if you're a native hebrew speaker, but you really did a nice job.
