The soundtrack is of the Yiddish version of Fiddler on the Roof which played 
successfully in Israel for many years.  Shmuel Rodensky played Tevye and sang
it on the record made in Israel.   The new theater company "Yiddishshpil"
headed by Shmuel Atsmon can probably help you find the text in Israel.  I am
sure that there is
also a copy at the YIVO Institute of Jewish Research.

Yes. That's too much to ask.
