Dremlen Feygl ( Notes per Malcolm:Midi made from notation which originally appeared in Sing Out! vol. 6, 1964. The title there was given as S'Dremlin Feigle, with words and music both credited to Leah Rudnitzky; the DT has "Words by Leah Rudnicki; Music by Leyb Yampolski". They gave a translation, which the contributor to the DT failed to do: Birds are dozing on the branches, Sleep my dear little one. At your crib on an old wooden bench, A stranger sings to you. There was a time when your crib Was woven out of happiness. But now your mother, oh, your mother, Will never return. I have seen your father running, Under a hail of stones And his far and lonely wail Flew over the fields. The translation was perhaps made by Dina Suller, who sent the song to Sing Out. ) |
