Rumania, Rumania by Aaron Lebedeff

[31sylvia]

This is a great performance.

I wrote a detailed commetary translating many of the words about the foods mentioned and questions other writers asked. It vanished when I clicked on post. So where did it go?

[Lubana140]

Great job, guys, on one of the greatest Yiddish hits of all time.



[0901jiquidi]

Outstanding! Many thanks from USA

[BaronVonGalatz]

Wonderfull ! With love from Romania !

[poitrenaud]

Romania was one of the countries in Europe that did NOT treat Jews poorly, during Fascism, after Fascism, and even during Communism, when they blamed Everything on the Jews-

The Italians are the same way. Italians are not Anti-Semitic-

This is interesting culture!

[manormyth77]

@poitrenaud oh my word.. please learn some more.. I say this respectfully

[mirceasangriu]

IN ROMANIA DONT SERV GLAT KOSHER FOOD, SO.....DONT VIZIT ROMANIA ! WE DONT NEED IT!

[bogdanic29]

@mirceasangriu mai bine ai invata sa scrii in engleza cum trebuie ...si nu te mai da mare datii

לא יפה לך לדבר על רומניה!

[manormyth77]

@mirceasangriu .. Don't worry asshole.. We moved on to bigger and better things... Lovely song by the way

[dianafaustasimona]

@mirceasangriu Esti un imbecil care a uitat de unde a plecat si care a uitat ca a mancat paine romaneasca.Porti un preunme glorios,debilule,nu il fa de rusine!

Tu nu esti evreu jigodie,tu esti un jidan imputit!Un evreu ADEVARAT nu ar vorbi asa despre ROMANIA!

You are a schmuck and a filthy schlong!

[journeymanwriter]

I don't know Yiddish (other than the handful of words that manage to trickle down the generations), but I understand "mamaligele" and "pastramele"! XD

[knitter4years]

@journeymanwriter Oh please share. I undestand the more German parts of Yiddish. but is this about pastrami and marmalade? what are mamaligele and pastramele? Thanks in advance. :)

The time that was still is!

[veganfemale]

Now this a song that is very difficult to sing. Wonderful to be able to enjoy those two masters!

[Joca1911]

Como não tinha nenhuma postagem do Brasil, resolvi mandar aqui meus parabens..... Maravilhoso....

[tchiriac]

O sugestie pentru doamna Udrea , poate ii da prin cap cum sa promoveze turismul in Romania !

[090148komaska50]

Thank to Romania's Jewish friends for this amazing song...

[k9ahura]

baklajele means eggplant

[MultiMaria45]

Excelent!!!

[MegaAntim]

[lica719]

[tudortv]

I think I heard "mamaliga" "branza" "pizda" "stele" and "baclajele" ??? :)))))) For english speakers means" "corn maze" "vagina" "stars" and... I don't know what "baclajele means :))))))

[MilkDrinkerIntl]

@tudortv mamaliga = poleta

[Whyolin]

[Chersonesos]

@xsabian jews never made any problems in Romania...have you ever even met one( a romanian-jew)?! i did, nice chap

[calatis4u]

@xsabian DAR ROmanii sunt mai buni decat altii? toti suntem nascuti in pacat.............numai cei nascuti din nou sunt pe drumul cel bun, restu`........?!

[JeffW77]

I heard this song in 1961 or so...by The Limelighters. Lou Gottlieb was amazing.

[xsabian]

JEWS KEEP OUT OF ROMANIA!

[LeonardMIS]

With great pleasure as long you keep out of Europe, fascist pig

[xsabian]

Sorry,we cant leave! We've been here since the dawn of time...

[xsabian]

And may i remind you that you came from Asia!

[GeneralPaccepa]

@LeonardMIS Could you please suck my cock now? Please do.

As you see, I have the taste for jewish music myself, I see no problem in that, or in jewish culture.

But you, sir, can choke on my balls and die.

Why? Because EVERY country that suits you is "Democracy" and EVERY country that does not is "Fascist" or "Communist".

I have a question...What is Saudi Arabia?

[Chersonesos]

@xsabian Romanian here, I have a half-jewish friend, problem ?!

[moshiach2]

Can someone please translate that little joke at around 2:00 in? Thanks!

[LeonardMIS]

@moshiach2

Lozikh meydele lozikh...Var vus? Dayn mame oykh gelozt.

Let me do it, baby, oy let me do it baby.... Why" Because your mother used to let.

[PooBah891]

Brilliant piece written by a master---yet, I have to wonder why the writer and others found such great nostalgia in an unwelcoming (to say the leas)t place. Human nature is amazing in loving its past---I feature the song many times on my program on WFDU---much requested---and much loved by me as well--as are the 2 here---they both have been on the program.

[manormyth77]

@PooBah891 I think it's more about the nostalgia, like you said.. and Nostalgic feelings are ones with the realization that there is no going back.. This was their home, like my roots derived from Lithuania.. There had to be some good times amongst the tribulations.. Part of the bitter-sweetness of the Jewish experience in whole

[Chersonesos]

Hello from Rumania Rumania! :D

[denebo]

A-1

[crisprofa]

Nothing about sweet communism and jewish representatives from RO or christians died in communist prisons in unimaginables tortures? Nothing about the sweet bargaining between russians and the so damn democratic westerners after the second world war? Nothing at all?!? Oh but please be kind and add also those foreigners who "adapt" so well to the "local" culture when is to do their bussiness and after critices form above the Bruxelles' nose the RO corruption! Poor innocence!

[Guyshachar1]

A-mechaie

[efil4own1]

R.I.P. Bruce Adler...I saw him when he was in "Crazy For You" on Broadway, many moons ago.

[romarcela62]

I realy would like to read a text english version or a text Romanian version. Music sounds familiar for me. As you can imzagine, I'm a Romanian one.

[MrImnus]

@romarcela62 Daca vrei o traducere, am eu cantecul pe canal la mine si are si traducere in engleza la "Description".

[nilinu]

A mechaiah!!

[zafff13]
