Re: G-d un doss kelbl

That's the first time I've heard it.  I have heard many native 
Yiddish-speaking singers do this song, and never have I heard anyone 
pronounce the words in the chorus other than "Dona, dona".  I think you may 
be trying to read too much into it.

I always wondered whether it was another way to call for G-d without 
pronouncing His name and without singing "Hashem" (that obviously sound like 
a fake).

Any opinion?
