Re: "regn," or"reyen."

[Klezcorner <Klezcorner...>]

This song, "Geyeyn Zey In Shvartse Reyen" is on the Cd "Unforgettabls Songs 
of The Ghetto" by Sarah Gorby; a French import.

  We have a very limited stock of this CD on hand..It is now OUT OF PRINT!!

The booklet contains the lyrics in phonetic Yiddish and in French.

<< The Yiddish in the title seems kind of
botched (like i'm guessing it's "regn," not "reyen."  On the other hand,
maybe they're wearing black rayon).  -Hankus

The Yiddish is fine.  Oddly enough, the first line of the song (as well as 
alternate title) contains the word 'regn', but the translation of the 
queried line is:
"We walk (march?) in black rows (='reyen')"

Here is some info from the Freedman database that may help track down the 
music:

Title: Geyen Zey In Shvartse Reyen --
