Vu ikh gey un vu ikh shtey

[Dick Rosenberg <mashke...>]

Hi,

I have a question for the list.

I often hear in Yiddish lyrics "Vu ikh gey un vu ikh shtey" or "Hershl vu geyts 
du, hershl vu sheyts du". I know enough Yiddish (derived to some extent from my 
college German, which may or may not be accurate), to know that it literally 
translates to "where I go and where I stand", but I suspect it has a different 
meaning. 

Can any of the native Yiddish speakers/Yiddish scholars on the list give me a 
better translation/interpretation.

A dank.
