Re: Moyde ani

Lucy,

A transliteration and English translation are in Sarah Gorby's "Songs
of the Ghetto: Years of Despair  Sung in Yiddish"  Philips PCC 621 of
"Moide Anee".  I have to run now, but, if you like, I will type it out
when I get a chance.  For now,  I'll just observe that this is a good
example of the problems of oral transmission of a text.  One can only
wonder at the Oral Torah.
