@brehizlander Me :).... But very different way... You can find it on youtube - type Anna Buntovnikova. Vaylu. Alas! (this is not my channel, so I can't give you the straight link, sorry for that)
First time I've heard this song from a very old Yiddish actress - she was an Yiddish language consultant in Moscow Jewish musical theatre that time. I also knew a couple of other versions, but do not remember the performers names.

thank you for this version of my favourite song. Couldn't find any recordings of it many years.
