Hi Lenka,

A few years ago at the CAJE conference I learned "Shnirele Perela" form
Jack Gabriel who performed it, also Pharaoh's Daughter recorded it on one
of their albums. It's an awesome song, and I performed it in many
concerts... also translated it into English.  I'll be happy to share the
English version with whoever is interested.  I'm wondering about the
slight differences in the Yiddish transliterations... who has it right?

Also Adrianne Cooper and Mikveh perform this beautifully at concerts.

this is taken from Mloteks'  Songs of Generations, p.185 

Shnirele perele, gilderne fon
Moshiekh ben Dovid zitst oybn on.
Halt a bekher in fer rekhter hant,
Makht a brokhe oyfn gantsn land.

Oy, omeyn veomeyn, dos iz vor,
Meshiekh vet kumen hayntiks yor!

Vet er kumen tsu forn -
Veln zayn gute yorn,
Vet er kumen tsu raytn -
Veln zayn gute tsaytn.
Vet er kumen tsu geyn -
Veln di yidn in erets-yisroel aynshteyn!

Dear chaverim:
Chanuka Sameach! 
A friend of mine bought an album with 2 CD's The Soul of Klezmer, I realy
gat fascinate with them, but in the CD 2, the first song MIPNEI MA, with
Frank London, Lorine Sklamberg and Uri Caine, and the last song SHNIRELE
PERELE, with The Klezmorim, I
couldn't stop to listen them, I would very appreciate if somebody can get
for me the words. Thank you.
