  • Oy Mama can also be found on "EXperience the Music of Israel", Co 2008, Passport to the World, Disc One. Just so you know... =)

  • can someone help me find the lyrics to exactly this version? because i only find other lyrics on the net, that don't seem to match to what is sung here.

    thanks in advance

  • I´m not jewish and I don´t speak yiddish, but I love this music and I love the Barry Sisters.

  • Yiddish IS NOT a dying language. More people speak Yiddish today than in 1990! A Beautiful thing! Take a class and join those of us pledged to preserve the mame-loshen!!!

  • my grandfather had records of the barry sisters, God knows why.

  • Yiddish music is amazing, I never knew yiddish music before, now I know, I fell in love with The style is unique.

    Cheers from Brazil. :)

  • o bella ciao

  • You know, when people ask others on who they listen to, it's normally today's wannabe artists, I'm fourteen; I'm sure I am the only guy in high school who knows who the Barry Sisters are... I'm proud of myself.

  • heard this from my early childhood and reminds me very nice days.......G`d bless them and the jewish people! Thank you for uploading.

  • danke so schoin

  • Merna died in 1976; Claire is still living, and is in semi-retirment.

  • the music hert sich on seyer sheyn. influenced by moyshe oyshers improvisatory yiddish songs. sounds so much more authentical jewish, then nowady so called jewish music of mbd and other beat and pop influenced musicians. maybe, because jazz , swing a.s.o. often used jewish patterns

  • I do not understand it but I do like the melody

  • I'm almost sure there's a song with the same melody in Russian, I just can't remember, does anyone know?

  • Great singers, nice melody language. I am ukrainian. When I was young boy I lived in Kiev near past Brodski synagogu. I heard yiddish language often. But now you can walk during all day over Kiev and don't met any jew. It's so pity

  • Sorry for that curiosity but : how old are you?

  • @S4uryk Nu, Reb Yid, moi predki Evreya s Ukraiyny. Eto pervyi raz uslyshal etu pesnyu. Napomnaiet mne o tekh, kto skrylis' na vidu.

  • TRANSLATION PLEASE?

  • Oh, mother I felt in love with a Klezmer Boy....

  • I saw them 1959.

  • Thank you!

  • Such a special language that is, sadly, dying out. But hey, so did Hebrew....maybe it'll have a come back too.

  • Hebrew never disappeared. It was a

    sacred language used in the synagogues.

  • It disapeared allright like latin, it was dead for houndreds of years.

    Only for Thora, so why do you criticise?

    Is latin a live language?

  • dead for houndereds of years? check the date when this song was recorded and get a beginners history book.

  • Yeah hebrew was live and kicking at the beginning of the XX centaury- sure in Hassidic preiors maybe.

  • Hebrew did not disappear, what do you think they speak in israel?

  • NEW Hebrew! like Hellenikoi and new GREEK not the same languages.

  • In Israel new Hebrew is spoken today. The Thore is written in different Hebrew that is spoken in Israel.

  • Hebrew is spoken the same with a accent cahnge depending on where your from but the wirting has changed.

  • אױ, עברית לא מת

  • @Jewcygrl Many of the Hassidim, refuse to use Hebrew for secular purposes. In Israel, and perhaps other places, they use Yiddish for secular purposes.

  • B"H

    @Jewcygrl

    What are you on about?

    What are we speaking in Israel?

  • @Jewcygrl Wha? Not dying out. Not at all.

  • @Jewcygrl the language is definantly not dying out. We have over 30,000 speak it in my city.

  • @Jewcygrl

    The Yidiish language is not dying out! There are over 500.000 people speaking fluently yiddish and over 3.000.000 who understand yiddish, but do not use it in their daily life.

    And to tell you more: There are many poets, who write NEW yiddish poems, new yiddish songs are written and are being performed all over the world by singers/songwriters, there is a lot of new yiddish books, theater plays, even movies... The Language is NOT dying out :-)

  • What a beautiful voices and song.

    I love it!!!!!!!

  • Wonderfull song!Thanks a lot.

  • that rocks, what a highball.

  • Very beautfullll musics...

    I remember my mam...

  • its so beatyfull, thanks a lot!

  • mozes314  why are you so snobisg? you sure you are not French, hiding as a Dutchman?

  • to listen to these lider is a groiser mekhaye!

  • Oy vay! where did all thr goyim come from???

  • What does Oy vay mean?

  • It should be "Oy Vay ish mier."Means"Woe is me".

  • Thank you!

  • Oh vay, means litterly oh, pitty me...

    weh = wehnen, is crying in german

  • oy vey is closer to "oh, woe"

    the whole phrase is "oy vey iz mir!"

  • oh woe? It sounded so english in my ears, but you might be right ofcourse. Since yiddisch comes from the : Hochdeutsch, or High german my feeling goes more to Oy weh ish mir,

    Oh pitty comes over me?

  • shalom alechem ist nicht ganz richtig weh bedeutet schmerz du sagst wehnen aber es ist glaub ich weinen (lou sjoege)

  • Weh means pain, you are right about that, but it comes from the word Weinen, what means crying. Est tut mir weh, yes, means It hurts me, or to my regret, depents in wich context it is used. And you have a lot of joege, not lou sjoege. Shalom from Holland

  • Biggdogg !! Such a poor translation... look what DirkjeA wrote, thats what it means. So little knowledge, but what to expect when I look where you come from !

  • yidish iz take a zise shprakh.

  • You are right Yiddish is a sweet language, pitty I dont understand everything, had german language on highschool in Holland, but this is so much more....

  • This is great sungs!!!!!!!!! I love the way barry sisters sing all those sungs!!!!!!!!

  • עמעסע יידישע ניגונימ

  • Zeyer sheyn! Ober es iz nisht punkt, 'yidl mitn fidl'! ...?

  • "Yidl mitn fidl" heibt on noch der firter minute - "Yidl mitn fidl" starts after the 4th minute.

  • All the songs featured in this video are from

    the film YIDL MITN FIDL, which starred Molly

    Picon. She sang these songs in the 1936 film, in yidish. These are the versions in English

    recorded by The Barry Sisters.

  • עם ישראל חי 18

  • can someone post a translation?

  • This song is followed by the same melody with

    english lyrics. " Oh mama , I'm so in love". They sang this song in Yiddish, and then

    recorded it in english.

  • I don't remember much of my childhood Yiddish but songs about mother and daughter always bring back wonderful memories of my mother and myself.

  • Oy mame bin ich farlibt! One of my favotites. Thanks.

  • I learn much through your postings. Thanks.

    They must have been popular - so many records !

    I have only one number by them on some Israeli CD compilation - Roumania, Roumania, the title.
