GerryM	Songs about musical Instruments (100* d)	ADD: Der Rebbe Elimeylekh	26 Oct 25
Der Rebe Elimeylekh is a Yiddish song along the lines of Old King Cole. The Rabbi calls for his fiddlers, his drummers, and his tsimblists (tsimbl, or cimbalom, a hammered dulcimer). First part, in English, then in Yiddish transliteration: DER REBBE ELIMEYLEKH When Rebbe Elimeylekh became very happy, became very happy, Elimeylekh, he took off his tfillin and put on his glasses and sent for his two fiddlers. And the fiddling fiddlers fiddled in a fiddly way in a fiddly way, they fiddled. Az der Rebe Elimeylekh lz gevorn zeyer freylekh, Is gevorn zeyer freylekh, Elimeylekh, Hot er oysgeton di tfiln Un hot ongeton di briln Un geshikt nokh di fidlers di tsvey. (The following part gets sung twice) Un di fidldike fidlers Hobn fidldik gefidlt, Hobn fidldik gefidlt, hobn zey.
