Chava Alberstein singing Reizele by Mordechai Gebirtig

Yiddish lyrics

shteyt zikh dort in gesele,
shtil fartrakht a hayzele.
drinen oyfn boydem-shtibl
voynt mayn tayer reyzele
yedn ovnt farn hayzl
drey ikh zikh arum
kh'gib a fayf un ruf oys:
"reyzl, kum, kum, kum!"

efnt zikh a fentsterl
vakht oyf s'alte hayzele
un bald klingt in shtiln gesl
a zis kol, s'redt reyzele:
-- nokh a vayle vart, mayn liber,
bald vel ikh zayn fray,
gey zikh nokh a por mol iber;
eyns, tsvey, dray.

gey ikh mir a freylekher,
zing un knak mir niselekh,
her ikh oyf di treplekh shpringen
ire drobne fiselekh.
shoyn arop fun letstn trepl,
kh'nem zi lib arum,
kh'gib ir shtil a kush in kepl -
kum kum kum!

kh'vel dir zogn, Dovedl,
zolst aroyf nit fayfn mer.
-- her, er fayft shoyn -- zogt di mame
zi iz frum; s'fardrist zi zer.
fayfn, zogt zi, iz nit yidish;
past es bloyz far zey.
gib a tseykhn prost oyf yidish,
eyns, tsvey, dray!

kh'vel aroyf nit fayfn mer;
deroyf gib ikh a shvuele.
dir tsulib vel ikh afile
vern frum, mayn tsnuele
vel ikh vern frum, mayn reyzl,
vi di mame frum,
yedn shabes geyn in klayzl.
kum kum kum!

kh'gloyb es dir mayn libenker,
d'rum dafar dir dovidl
strikh ikh a sheyn tsviln-zekl
mit a mogn-dovidl
ven gefaln s'vet in klayzl
zogn zolst du zey
"dos hot gestrikt mayn libe rayzl
eyns, zvey, dray!"

a dank far der matonele;
ikh lib azoy dikh reyzele,
ikh lib dos gesl, lib di mame,
lib dos alte hayzele.
lib di treplekh fun dem hayzl;
geyst oyf zey arum.
her, di mame ruft shoyn, Reyzl!
kum kum kum.

gey ikh mir a freylekher,
zing un knak mir niselekh,
her ikh af di treplekh loyfn
ire drobne fiselekh.
vider shteyt fartrakht dos gesl,
s'hayzl vider shtum.
kum tsu mir in kholem, reyzl,
kum, kum, kum!

שטייט זיך דאָרט אין געסעלע
שטיל פֿאַרטראַכט א הייזעלע,
דרינען אויפֿן בוידעם-שטיבל
וווינט מײַן טיַיער רייזעלע.
יעדן אָוונט פֿאַרן הײַזל
דריי איך זיך אַרום,
כ´גיב אַ פֿיַיף, און רוף אויס : רייזל,
קום, קום, קום!


עפֿנט זיך א פֿענצטערל,
וואַכט אויף ס´אַלטע היַיזעלע,
און באַלד קלינגט אין שטילן געסל
אַ זיס קול, ס´רעדט רייזעלע :
- נאָך אַ ווײַלע וואַרט, מיַין ליבער,
באַלד וועל איך זיַין פֿריַי,
גיי זיך נאָך אַ פּאָר מאָל איבער -
איינס, צוויי, דריַי !


גיי איך מיר אַ פֿריילעכער,
זינג און קנאַק מיר ניסעלעך,
הער איך אויף די טרעפּלעך שפּרינגען
אירע דראָבנע פֿיסעלעך,
שוין אַראָפּ פֿון לעצטן טרעפּל,
כ´נעם זי ליב אַרום,
כ´גיב איר שטיל אַ קוש אין קעפּל -
קום, קום, קום !


- כ´וויל דיך בעטן, דודל,
זאָלסט אַרויף נישט פֿיַיפֿן מער.
- הערסט, ער פֿיַיפֿט שוין - זאָגט די מאַמע,
זי איז פֿרום, ס´פֿאַדריסט זי זייער,
פֿיַיפֿן, זאָגט זי, איז נישט ײִדיש,
ס´פּאַסט נאָר בלויז פֿאַר זיי...
גיב אַ צייכן פּראָסט אויף ײִדיש -
איינס, צוויי, דרייַ !


- כ´וועל פֿון היַינט נישט פֿײַפֿן מער,
דרויף גיב איך אַ שבֿועהלע -
דיר צוליב וועל איך אפֿילו
ווערן פֿרום, מײַן צנועהלה,
כ´וועל זײַן ווען דו ווילסט נאָר, רייזל,
ווי דײַן מאַמע פֿרום,
יעדן שבת גיין אין קלייזל -
קום, קום, קום !


- כ´גלייב עס דיר, מײַן ליבינקער,
און דערפֿאַר דיר, דודל,
שטריק איך אַ שיין תּפילין-זעקל
מיט אַ מגן-דודל,
ווען געפֿעלן ס´וועט אין קלייזל,
זאָגן זאָלסטו זיי:
- ס´האָט געשטריקט מיַין ליבע רייזל -
איינס, צוויי, דרייַ !


- כ´דאַנק פֿאַר דײַן מתּנה´לה,
כ´ליב אַזוי דיך, רייזעלע !
כ´ליב דײַן מאַמען, כ´ליב דאָס געסל,
כ´ליב דאָס אַלטע הײַזעלע,
כ´ליב די שטיינדלעך לעבן הייַזל -
טרעטסט אויף זיי אַרום,
הער, דײַן מאַמע רופֿט שוין: רייזל,
קום, קום, קום !


גיי איך מיר א פֿריילעכער,
זינג און קנאַק מיר ניסעלעך,
הער איך אויף די טרעפּלעך לויפֿן
אירע דראָבנע פֿיסעלעך -
ווידער שטייט פֿאַרטראַכט דאָס הײַזל,
ס´געסל - ווידער שטום.
קום צו מיר אין חלום, רייזל,
קום, קום, קום !

    I can relate to that so much, I too feel sadness almost every time I listen to a song in Yiddish. It leaves a large hole in my heart. Sometimes it feels like being lost, because loved ones I never got to know are missing..... and I will never have the chance to talk to them or get to know them, and how I would have loved that.......

    I see what you are referring to. The "Bundesrepublik Deutschland" had been constructed by the Allied Militaries after WWII, but is legally not successor of "Drittes Reich".... however, there had been many discussions about "collective guilt" in the media in the 1980s, 1990s and still nowadays.... bloodlines, do they really count?

    disorientated despite better knowing after 60 years. So this is no burden nor legacy it is just from the start: people trying to understand.

    ok. i'll stop flooding this log ;)

    today it is very easy to meet young german jews in my town. The just live their lives here. Most of them want to get bothered with the omnipresent past or have their own, private that is, approach on matters.. Hard thing are the old folks, returning from the states or else, wandering about the places of their childhood to see. I met one of them nine years ago and came into conversation in town library. he needed to tell and i needed to listen: About beeing robed of root and getting...

    i just red about Philipp Auerbach. After 45' he was Nazi Hunter in West Germany fighting for retribution of NS Victims. Not only for jewish NS Victims but also for Sinti or homosexual victims or communist. And that is interesting: He was poltically attacked by NS Judges, reinstated in young FRG, but not only by them. Jewish Victim Councils attacked him for putting the focus at ALL victims. History, beg your pardon for my french, is f**** up.

    So please do not get political on this matter.

    nono, it's not about a burden or the legacy. It's just that i wondered how the cities and communities would be like, if there were no Hitler dictatorship. An believe me when i say that see myself not kind hearted. Germany started a war and in consequence about sic! 22 millions died. There is no good or bad german or jew. There is just epic fail politics in the Weimarer Republic, certain minorities, that have been industrial style wiped out and all the consequences of the war. Interesting fact:..

    @all I guess this log is principal about Chava's Song Reizele. To clear things a little bit: First of all, we are in deed and without any doubts human. And then we are all different from each other. There are Jews and Muslims and Hindus and Atheists and so on and on. What you might not forget when battling each other having the natural right to stand your interests and beliefs: You are not easily what you are. Being something means underlying antagonisms. With that can come respect for the other

    part2 @ ANATOLIACHTZEIN

    On the other hand: without having this googled or spoken to a Linguist, i guess the Yiddish beeing presented here must have started evoling in late mid age mergin with post midle high german in a forthcoming process. Uh oh, didn't You just wrote exactly that? oh my~ redundance, sorry for that.
