I don't understand the song or the subtitles, but I love it anyway! But where's the fidl?

[Nocturne1961]

[vulcanswork]

@Nocturne1961

Thank you

[aporia82]

this music is very similar to turkish music. I think the ottoman origins of klezmer is true.

[jurischko]

[ponhand]

Jidish is beautiful German is Ugly!

[Lagolop]

@ponhand

"Jidish is beautiful German is Ugly"

You have to remember that Yiddish is based on Medieval High German but it is a distinct dialect as with other German languages. It is closer to Swiss and Austrian German, than it is to Hochdeutch.

Also remember that Yiddish contains some Hebrew words and Slavic words too.

BTW, I don't think any German sounds ugly, but I must admit I prefer some dialects over others. To me Yiddish and Austrian sounds more "folksy", and easier to my ear.

[ponhand]

@Lagolop To me German sounds like somebody is gasping for air in a metal scrap lake, and Yiddish is like the lake is way behind and: lets relax a bit.

[Lagolop]

@ponhand

OTOH, some people thing Yiddish is very guttural and it is to some extent, but it is also a softer tongue like the Swiss or Austrians would have. Trust me, I love the sound of Yiddish, I'm doing my best to learn it.

-a gutn tog un gezunterheyt : ))

[Lagolop]

@ponhand

I'll send you some Yiddish music links.

[megadethfan06]

@Lagolop send me some yiddish music links please!

[nevernohijab]

@ponhand do you speak German? Do you understand it?

or just prejudiced?

[ponhand]

@nevernohijab prejudice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nevernohijab]

@ponhand ty

[ponhand]

@nevernohijab ty for what? I didn't say I say it out of prejudice. i've only said Prejudice as a word. any other questions?

[ponhand]

@nevernohijab forgive me if i'm a bit sensitive in the german question

[ma187187187]

@ponhand why insult?? ,response from a real jew with many german friends because knowing how to forgive and love is what makes us good human beeings

[ponhand]

@ma187187187 some things you'll never forgive or forget. I don't care about being a tzaddic, or a beinoni, in this matter.but for sure it wold be better not to feel resentment

[dontcomeinbutcomein]

BEST THING EVER. I love all the Budapest Klezmer Band's contributions to Klezmer music.

[Isospinsymmetries]

Brilliant. Danke sehr. 

[ichbinzehn]

Aufstehen,Singen,Mitmachen und Tanzen!!!

Klasse Interpretation!!!

Besten Dank!

[ewa184]

Thank you, but you needn't reply me. I know his name now - he's Tamas Dunai - hungarian actor.

[ewa184]

What is the name of this man in a green sweater, because I can't find his name on the Budapest Klezmer Band site? Does he sing with this band or is he a guest?

[aker1508]

@ewa184

His name is Tamás Dunai, Hungarian actor with Yewish roots. By his pronunciation you can hear it a little bit. Very few Hungarian Yews speaks Yiddish. Here only for the performance

[ewa184]

@aker1508 Thank you for the information.

[shigulifan]

The concert Yesterday in Debrecen was just amazing....

[Yajiumax]

What language he sings?

[Gonnakillyou]

@Yajiumax Jidish.

[folkatka]

My favourite version of this song

[RENEDU2]

la vie n est qu ne blague! ^^

[moogamax]

"Yidl mit 'n' fidl" means "A young Jew with a fiddle"?

[crazy0christoph]

@moogamax

it does!

[ewa184]

@moogamax Exact English translation is "Yiddle With His Fiddle", German: "Jidl mitn Fidl", Polish: "Judel gra na skrzypcach", Yiddish: "ייִדל מיטן פֿידל), Yidl is a male name.

[chedreite]

[chedreite]

[Max0Inq]

"You want to speak German? Speak Yiddish without sense of humour!"

- Train of Life

[Lagolop]

Max0Inq

That was well put. Ppl don't realize that Yiddish is essentially Medieval German and that Jews have lived in Austria and the Rhineland since at least as early as the 2nd century. Many terms commonly used in German and English are actually Yiddish.

[sinigrilli]

My daughter Ginevra has 9 months and she loves this music. Whenever I play this version of "Yidl mit'n fidl" she laughs and moves his legs in time.

Shalom from Italy center.

[sinigrilli]

Attraverso un campo su un carro pieno di fieno

sotto sole, vento e la pioggia vanno due musicisti klezmer.

Sorpresa, oh che sorpresa! Dimmi tu chi sono?

Yidl col violino Arye col contrabbasso

La vita è una canzone perchè farsi il sangue amaro?

Yidl, violino, Schmidl la vita è uno spasso.

Una capra è nel pratotristemente bela "beeh"!

Eh, caprone, scemo...è stupido esser tristi!

Lui bela tutto il giorno

nella sua barbetta.

[dandy1854]

shalom...from Italy

[bohgpipes]

This is in Yiddish, right?

[Rhynome]

Yeah, it's in Yiddish.

Yidl mitn fidl means "Yidl with his fiddle", Yidl being a boy's name, but the 'boy' is actually Itke, Arye (the bass player's) daughter. It's from a Yiddish film made in 1936.

[HungarikumBln]

1:26 "Beeeh" :) So funny :)

[gbaune]

Diese Musik ist Seele pur !

[timpetill]

i like the jiddisch sound :)

[IsmBee]

Shalom from bavaria!

[SupremeHero777]

[TikvahS87]

[TikvahS87]

And he leaves out the third verse, but here it is anyways:

A foygl flit "gut morgn, gut morgn, a gut yor"

Der troyer un di zorgn tsu al de shvartse yor!

Dem vint a lakh in ponem, un Yidl, Yidl for!

Chorus....

[vespersinblue]

[contrafagotto]

He is the clarinetist, his name is István Kohán. (not the singing man, the other one)

[MarinaFrancina]

Geweldig!

[sinigrilli]

Jews are everywhere, and every man have one in the deepest corner of his heart...

[boobies123abc]

kinda sad but as a jew, this is one of if not the only thing im proud of being a jew for--a connection to klezmer magic and possibly this style of music

[Seleuce]

Be proud to be jewish. Not to be proud makes you so jewish! So you better be proud. ;-)

Jews are great!

[renedgj]

That's great!!

I'm brazilian, not jew, but klezmer music is fantastic!

[ebergi]

Que placer la musica klezmer!! POr suerte es uno de los tantos tesoros judios que el nazismo no consiguio borrar de la tierra, como petendia. Nos queda esa alegria, ese espiritu jovial que nos deja cuando la escuchamos....

[sinigrilli]

Zenekarral most olyat fogunk játszani, amit a Fegya írt nekünk. :-D

[Zoli86w]

Köszönjük, hogy elveid ellenére megtekintetted ezt az egyébként zseniális felvételt. Köszönjük, hogy kommentáltál egy számot, melynek mondanivalójáról - hozzászólásodból kiindulva - elképzelésed sincs. Mivel azonban ez a videó kiemelt kedvenceim közt foglal helyet, arra kérlek, a jövőben máshol maszturbálj!

[Petucco12]

hát lehet, hogy az én elveim inkább gthomekéhez állnak közelebb, de lnkifejezettem kedvelem a klezmert is!

[skaj88]

Ne tessék már bunkónak lenni... Kösz!

[efra39]

Merci encore arte pour ce bijou !! Longue vie à votre chaîne !!!

[aurbenbuber]

is there someone to learn me yiddish ?

i'm french, and jew, i'm in search of my roots:

[BratWody]

French Jews haven't used yiddish since Haskala.

[oneofthe4]

I love it!

[luclali1]

Ganz gut, echte klass ! Optimal!

!

[Nathandillen1987]

Fantastic !!! i love your music :-D

[firstchordraider]

Super !

Präzise gespielt und schön interpretiert.

Melancholisch-fröhlich und voller Energie.

[Brutcher35]

das liegt in Nordschlesien.....;))

[sergimenezp]

very cool!

is this yiddish?

[geblayroiz]

sensacional, amazing, strong, the most deeper place in the jewish culture.... thanks....

[orgay3]

Well I don't like this so much. The guy singing does not have the charisma and power to do it.

[geblayroiz]

are you jocking?

[orgay3]

Why would I do that??

[jesseck312]

people, why bother someone because of an opinion?

[orgay3]

Well everybody got opinions, why keep it to your self in a society? The sad thing is when you are deaf to other viewpoints and cant tolerate others, or if you are ridiculing someone because of his/her opinion.

[aklm0462]

Yep. But that's the world. If you say IN MY OPINION ... and make the IN MY OPINION stand out, people will still say that you suck. Just `you suck' or more commonly `usux'. You should say `in my opinion, you suck' or something like that. Obviously not like that. Something like `I dissagree. In my opinion.' Don't make me teach it to you in French. In school, it took over 2 months to do opinions, and we learned it 1 hour.

[54spiritedwill54]

very good

[Lenore15]

could someone translate it to me? :)

[chevalierkronenbourg]

Well i think its something like that:

Across fields we go,

On a wagon of hay

With sun and wind and rain,

Ride two musicians.

A surprise, what a surprise,

Tell me who are they?

[chevalierkronenbourg]

Yidl with his fiddle, Aryeh with his bass, Life is a song, Why should I be upset? Yidl, fidl, shmidl - Hey - This life is a pure fun. A goat stands in the meadow And bleats a sad "meh!" Hey you goat, you foolish one, Being sad is stupid! He nods his little beard, "Truly, truly 'feh'!"

[OnitsukaTiger1511]

No matter how sad and down i feel this song always makes me happy again...

Thank you for this great music!

[viglionatic]

i love klezmer and the guys are great. thanks for sharing.

Denke mal, dass die das auf frz. schreiben, damit der frz. arte zuschauer versteht, was die da singen ;)

[kansas165]

Und warum ist die Jiddische Sprache auf Französisch geschrieben? Sind die Juden wirklich aus Frankreich, wo es gibt keinen Fiedeln?

[emmatoth]

Das ist eine franzozishe television, "Arte".

I denke.

[SteppenSturm]

[Gouigouiz]

Trop bien la vidéo,jadore

[Max2123533]

Superbe, rien à dire : ils ont le sens de l'ambiance :-D

[giubica1]

The style and structure of klezmer as we know it today is thought to have come largely from 19th century Bessarabia (Romania), where the bulk of today's traditional repertoire was written. It is based on hora, sirba, doina, all of them of Romanian origin.

For more detail see Wikipedia Klezmer.

[kean1983]

But who cares :) I was just on their concert in the synagogue and I was not thinking about the origin... In Transylvania and Moldva there are many people, it is not just simply romanian, don't be so silly. Jews, Germans, Romanians, Hungarians and lots of other people live(d) together there...

so, do not be so nationalist, just listen the music and feel it and if you have time and money, visit one of the concerts :)

[giubica1]

Silly? Nationalistic? Hmm. I am just making a truthful statement. Great music, by the way :-)

[CaptPoco]

I knew it! This sounds just like the traditional Bulgarian chalga (Roma wedding music). Of course, "Romanian" culture is more or less equivalent to Roma culture, as far as I can tell (being neither jewish nor roma). Amazing music, though, anyone has to admit that it is full of folksy charm but also sorrow.

[giubica1]

"Romanian" culture is NOT more or less equivalent to Roma culture! That's a frequent mistake, due to the similarity of the words Roma and Romanian, plus the high number of Gypsies in Romania.
