Thread Name: Lyr Add: Tsen Brider
Subject: Mir lebn ejbig
Hi,

I coudn't find this one before, as spelling differs and as I know it as "Mir lebn ejbig": We live forever.

I too noticed that the order of blaj and hej is not fixed. I guess, as with the other differences that this would be a matter of dialect - how to rhyme best with draj and tswej.

As I know it, the final verses have no chorus between them, but there are several chorusses at the end. Also, I'm use to singing "then I was one left", rather than "then we were one left".

Tswej brider senen mir gewesn,
hobn mir gehandlt mit bejner.
Ejner is fun unds geschtorbn,
bin ich mir geblibn (nur nog) ejner.
Ejn bruder bin ich mir gewesn,
hob ich mir gehandelt mit licht.
Schterbn tu ich jedenn tog,
wajl tsu esn hob ich nit.
