Can anyone recommend a good Yiddish song book? I have a pretty good
collection of klezmer and other Yiddish music, but I have a real problem
with the lyrics.
To be sure, I have the same problem in all languages. Years ago, for
example, my wife of the time and I were watching a Finnish group singing
their entry on the EuroVision Grand Prix whatever songfest. "Wow," I
remarked, "Finnish sure is a weird language."
"Fool," she cogently observed, "they're singing in English."
