Arbetlose Marsch

Arbetlose Marsch
"Le chant des chômeurs"
Texte et musique: Mordechaj Gebirtig

Ejns, tswej, draj, fir, arbetlose senen mir,
nischt gehert chadoschim lang
in fabrik den hamer-klang,
s lign kejlim kalt, fargesn,
s nemt der sschawer sej schon fresn,
gejen mir arum in gas, wi di gewirim pust-un-pas.

Ejns, tswej, draj, fir, arbetlose senen mir,
on a beged, on a hejm,
undser bet is erd und lejm,
hat noch wer wos tsu genisn,
tajlt men sich mit jedn bisn,
waser wi di gwirim wajn gisn mir in sich arajn.

Ejns, tswej, draj, fir, arbetlose senen mir,
jorn lang gearbet schwer,
un geschaft als mer un mer,
hajser, schleser, schtet un lender,
far a hojfele farschwender.
Undser lojn derfar is wos? Hunger, nojt un arbetlos.

Ejns, tswej, draj, fir, ot asoj marschirn mir,
arbetlose, trit noch trit,
un mir singn sich a lid
fun a land, a welt a naje,
wu es lebn mentschn fraje,
Arbetlose is kejn schum hant in dem najen frajen land.

It's Yiddish with a German accent actually. You hear that more and more often these days with many Germans singing Yiddish songs. Words like Khadoshem (months) from Hebrew you're not going to hear in any Germanic language other than Yiddish. Plus it was written by the poet Mordechai Gebirtig who lived in Cracow Poland and knew no German.

This is absolutely Yiddish. Yiddish is an Alemanic tongue from the Rhineland (where the Jews had lived since the 4th C). It was developed from Medieval High German and over time incorporated some Hebrew and Slavic terms. While Yiddish is similar to other Alemanic German dialects (and many German speakers can understand it), it remains a distinct dialect of the Ashkenazi Jews.

@ikhveysnit I thought it sounded very German. I'm learning Yiddish, but I speak German and so my pronunciation is way off. It doesn't help that I can't tell easily if I'm listening to a native speaker or not.
