  • חשבתי בהתחלה זה שיר חרדי חחחחחחחח

  • @Rachulie That's funny

  • Finally found it. Awesome track.

    

  • AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH ive been looking everywhere for this song! but didnt know what it was called. what was i going to look up "di di di yo yo yo " ????

  • @ashrafbazan Yiddish comes from the German term "Judaisch (yoo-DAY-isch)", the German term for Jewish. It is the language of many European-German Jews.

  • @ashrafbazan

    It's all Yiddish but Yiddish is a heavily German based language so that's where the similarity comes from.

    A scream, violence and a noise, a father in the forest looks for his children.

    Children, children, where have you been? Have you already forgotten me?

    Children, children, come home to me, since it makes me sad, sitting alone.

    Father, father, we cannot go to you, as (while) the guard is still standing at the door

  • what does that mean in English ?? plz

    and i think there is German in this "zucht zeine Kinder" ^o) dunno !

  • For anyone interested, I've transliterated the Yiddish:

    A Geshrey, a Gevaldt, on a Gepilder, a Fawter in Valdt zucht zeine Kinder.

    Kinder, Kinder, vu zent ir gevezen? Vaws oif mir hat ir shoyn fargessen? Kinder, Kinder, komt tzu mir Aheym. Vayl s’iz mir umetik tzu zitzn aleyn.

    Fawter, Fawter, vi kan men geyn tzu dir, az der Shoymer shteyt dach bay der Tir.

    If anyone would like the English translation or the Yiddish in Hebrew script, just ask ;)

  • @NatanelYaHu I know i been studying it for 5 years just wanted to see your opinion about it.
