1.)




on a heim bin ich jung gebliben
s'hot di nojt mich arojs getriben
wen ich hob noch keyn dreizen jor gehat

in der fremd, wajt fun mames ojgen
hot in schmutz mich di gas dertzojgen
gevorn is fun mir a vojler jat. Ich bin Avrejml der feikster marvicher
a grojser kinstler, ich arbet lajcht un sicher
dos erschte mol, ch'vel's gedenken bisn tojt
arajn in tfise far lakchenen a brojt, oj, oj
ch'for nischt ojf markn, wi jene proste jatn
ch'tsip nor baj karge schmutsike magnatn
ch'bin sich mechaje ven ch'tap asa magnat
ich bin Avrejml, gur a vojler jat.

2.)




in der fremd, nischt gehat zum lebn
gebetn brojt, an ormer flegt noch gebn
nor jene lajt wos senen tomid sat

flegn oft trajbn mich mit zorn

a ganev bin ich, nor a vojler jat. Ich bin Avrejml der feikster marvicher
a grojser kinstler, ich arbet lajcht un sicher
dos erschte mol, ch'vel's gedenken bisn tojt
arajn in tfise far lakchenen a brojt, oj, oj
ch'for nischt ojf markn, wi jene proste jatn
ch'tsip nor baj karge schmutsike magnatn
ch'bin sich mechaje ven ch'tap asa magnat
ich bin Avrejml, gur a vojler jat.

Do ligt Avrejml der feikster marvicher

a mentsch a fajner mit hartz, mit a gefil
a mentsch a rejner wi got alejn nor wil, oj, oj
wen iber im wolt gewacht a mames ojgn
wen s'wolt di fintstere gas im nischt dertzojgn
wen noch als kind er a tatn wolt gehat
do ligt awrejml, jener vojler iat.

[CaptainBeetheart]

This has kind of freaked me out. Chansons Yiddish is one of my favourite albums, Vladimir Vysotsky is one of my all-time favourite musicians, and my username is Captain Beetheart. It is nice to meet you!

[TheRealCaptainCarrot]

Aha!

well Well WELL.

That IS rather an odd collection of coincidences... Though I suppose it's nice to be assured that there ARE in fact other like-minded (and of course, therefore totally awesome) people SOMEWHERE in the world...

...Now if only I were from Portland, Oregon, the web of bizarre coincidence would be complete... But in any case:

Cheers and salutations!!!

...Gosh we're so cool. And awesome.

Mordechai Gebirtig was a genius. It is so sad that he was silenced by the holocaust. He and millions of others. I won't even try to express my feelings about that.

[elenanthi]

thank you for having posted this.

[DMBlackthorn]

For English and Yiddish, check out Dan Kahn & the Painted Bird version.

bonjour, merci pour cette chanson yiddisch. C'est une de mes préférés !

Pourriez-vous joindre les paroles en anglais et en français car le texte voudrait la peine d'être compris.

Hello thank you for this song (one of my favorit) would it be possible, to join the lyrics in French and in english of the song please ?

It's a petty that the people don't understand because the texte of the song is formidable (very interresting) and deserve to be understable for every one.

[waveletter]

This recording has followed me for more than two decades. Many thanks!

[JadeDAngelo]

Yiddish language always makes me so sad :(

[snappa222]

didn't understand a word but it didn't matter, very,very beautiful
