Cantor Annie singing, "Unter dem Kind's Vigele (Beneath the Baby's Cradle)"

Temple Beth Emeth's 2nd Beit Kafé: Adult Education Night. This was a session lead by Cantor Annie Rose on Jewish Lullabies.

Lyrics in Yiddush & English...

Unter dem kind's gigele
Shteyt a klor-vays tsigele.
Rozhinkes mit mandlen.
Rozhinkes mit mandlen is zeyer zis.
Mayn kind vet zayn gezunt un frish.

Gezunt iz di beste schoyre,
Mayn kind vet lernen Toyre.
Toyre vet er lernen.
S'forim vet er shraybn.
A guter un a frumer
Vet er im yirtseshem blaybn.

Beneath the baby's cradle
Stands a white kid.
The kid has gone away to trade
In raisins and almonds.
My child will be healthy and alert.

Health is the best of goods,
My child will study Torah;
Torah is what he'll study,
He will write holy books.
A good and a pious person
will he stay, God willing.
