RE: Vaibele in Tsnien

[Lorin Sklamberg <lsklamberg...>]

Hello Sanne and list,

A vaybele a tsnie
Words by Isidor Lillian, music by Joseph Rumshinsky
Metro Music 1941

(as sung by the Bagelman Sisters)

Lomdom, birim bay, lomdom birim bay,
Laybl-udl-idl-aydl - vyokh, tshyokh, tshyokh
Lomdom, birim bay, lomdom birim bay,
Laybl-uldl-idl-aydl-lom.

(Iz dus) A vaybele, a tsnie, a kushere metsie
Git iz deym nor vus hot dus gefinen
(Oy ver iz dus) A klige in a sheyne, a tsikhtike, a reyne,
Ver s'farmugt es, deym hot got in zinen.
Shtil, bashaydn, vi a taybl, a neshume a getraye.
Mit aza min tayer vaybl ken a man zikh zayn mekhaye,
A vaybele, a tsnie, a kushere metsie
Iz vi an oytser, vi a tsiring in hoyz.

S'iz git mit dir tsi reydn,
S'iz git af dir tsi kikn,
Vi ken zi mikh derfreyen,
Vi ken zi mikh derkvikn.
Makht zi tsi mir a kheyndl
Nemt mikh baym hartsn presn,
Ikh krig an apetit azsh -
Ikh volt zi ofgegesn.

Git iz deym un voyl iz deym...

Git iz deym, voyl iz deym, vos s'farmugt,
Oy, a vaybele, a sheyne in a tsnie!
