Oifen Pripitchik: Yiddish Jewish Classic Song

[staygulf83]

I recognise that song as the tune we sing "selach Na" to on Yom Kippur

[emanuelestar1981]

mia mamma è ucraina erea ucraina yddish ma io e mio padre siamo di roma nati a roma e alcune volte la canta questa canzone ma sentirla cantata così è bellissima non sono religioso ma alcune volte devi sentire la voce di D-o per capire

These boys are so committed to the song, and their stage presence is strong and adorable. I just love this performance!!

schöne Melodie zu einer minderwertigen Rasse, die die deutsche Nation zerstört, Gott erbarme sich dieses Rennen

[Belson20]

are these kids american? and if so, how come they sing in russian?

[hugecashfan]

@Belson20 Look up the song on wikipedia and it is translated.It is an eastern european jewish kindergarten song about learning the alphabet and life

[Belson20]

@hugecashfan

I understand the yiddish part but at about 2:15 they also start to sing in RUSSIAN.

the thing I don't understand is how these kids who are obviously american sing in such a good RUSSIAN accent. it seems like they speak russian as a second language or something of that sort.

btw this song is not about a 'jewish kindergarten'. it's about a rabbi teaching little children the hebrew alphabet in a 'cheder'(a jewish Torah study classroom).

[Boromir33]

I remember it from Schindlers List. That scene and song made me cry.

[joshsvoss]

It really sounds and looks like they're lip syncing

[dvd627]

sorry to write in Chinese. I mean the first two part of the lyrics are the following.

Az ir vet, kinder, elter vern,

Vet ir aleyn farshteyn,

Vifl in di oysyes lign trern,

Un vi fil geveyn.

Vifl in di oysyes lign trern,

Un vi fil geveyn.

[dvd627]

不是，歌词应该是这样唱的 Oyfn pripetshik brent a fayerl, Un in shtub iz heys. Un der rebe lernt kleyne kinderlekh Dem alef-beyz. (Un der rebe lernt kleyne kinderlekh Dem alef-beyz.) Zet zhe, kinderlekh, gedenkt zhe, tayere, Vos ir lernt do, Zogt zhe nokh a mol un take nokh a mol: Komets-alef: o! (Zogt zhe nokh a mol un take nokh a mol: Komets-alef: o!)

[101disneyaddiction]

man they're so cute!!

[sarabafte]

Yiddish music is so rich. I don't understand the lyrics except for the similarities to German, but the music is just amazing.

[jdi0093113]

They start to sing more russian as the song goes on and thats where I get lost.

[Evestrin]

But listening to her singing always brought tears of joy to my eyes, without even knowing whyit probably was a subconscious connection of 4 year old child to her very old tribe with its very tragic history. My Jewish heart comes from my grandmother who unintentionally installed my great love for my ancestry.

[Evestrin]

In my early childhood my grandmother sang for me Jewish songs, and very often this one: songs she grown up with, I didnt know anything about being Jewish, except that we had these beautiful, sad melodies. She could not translate what she was singing, because she didnt know Yiddish
