Paulina,
I couldn't do a good enough job translating, but I could certainly
transliterate a Yiddish poem into Russian letters, if that would help
you.
What kind of Yiddish music does your quartet sing? I am a member of
the Wholesale Klezmer Band, play the flute and sing. I also like
singing traditional Balkan and Russian folk songs.
