Does anyone know where can I find the lyrics? I really need them for my project but I have never learned Yiddish so I can't write it down by listening.
(Btw, This melody is haunting me since I was a little girl. :) )
Played on a violin, especially brings back many memories for me as a child on the lower east side of New York's kosher restaurants, where fiddle players would go around to the tables playing their music & I remember that this was always a popular request from the patrons.
The lyrics were written in 1931 by Herman Yablakoff for the play "Di Payetz" (The Clown) for the Second Avenue theatre. Liner notes of "Garden of Yidn." Yale Strom with Hot Pstomi & Klazzj featuring Elizabeth Schwartz on vocals.
Even in its "upbeat" parts, the song is sad, and not because it's in minor mode. There's sad, and then there's SAD...and the tempo change no doubt conveys that. Beautiful, heartbreaking performance.
I will always remember your amazing klezmer violin playing, Mike. You were an inspiration to me. The world is now a poorer place without you in it, mate - your music will forever, live on. God bless...
His loss puts a whole new spin on the famous Jewish phrase, "We need this like we need a hole in the head." :( If he was half the human being that he was a klezmer fiddler (on this video, at any rate), then he was a real mensch.
My condolences go to his family, friends and fans.
