No, I don't have the answer to the first question....I was just wondering if
there is someone who translates songs from English to Yiddish, or would like
to. I would like to do some English language repertoire in Yiddish with my
band, but my own English-to-Yiddish translation skills are limited. The only
such song I sing at this time is the Anniversary Song (Oh, how we met...).
Anyone out there with a good command of Yiddish and a sense of humor (is that
redundant?) who enjoys this sort of thing, or would like to help? (If so,
email me at my own address.) A dank!
