The Yiddish version is "Ven ikh ben a Rothschild" (If I were a

hopefully has the Yiddish lyrics transliterated) is available >>

Here goes,
These are the Yiddish vbersions of Fiddler On the Roof that I know about.
Jan Bart recorded an entire album on Tikvah Record (OUTOF PRINT) of his own
version of Fiddler.
Jan Peerce has a recording, CD & Cassette featuring songs from Fiddler (in
Yiddish)
There WAS a Yiddish ORIGINAL cast recording on Fiddler in Yiddish from Israel
on record and Cassete both are out of print, but we still have 5 copies in
stock on cassette, if interested contact me by PHONE at 323)655-7083 since I
will be without a computer for a week.
There is a recording in Yiddish by Danny Delmin from FRANCE that has a number
of selection from Fiddler on it. Good CD, one of the few baritones in Yiddish
music.
There are probably a few more out there , but that's all I have
