"Mekhuteneste Mayne" (My Dear In-Law) [in Mlotek]

"Cu dajn mamen hob ix gornit" (I Have Nothing against Your Mother) 
{priceless title}

"Sviger [as per Batya's e-mail], a gut helf ajx" (Good day, father-in-law)

Vu bistu geven, texterl majne (Where Were You, My Daughter?)
{text continues:  "At the evil father-in-law's")

[three preceding titles/texts/music in OLD JEWISH FOLK MUSIC, ed.
