re translation, for example I tried the last line in another spelling, "in mayne kinder-yorn" and came up with Title: Mayn Shtetele Belz -- ???? ??????? ????
Also known as: Belz
Author: Jacobs, Jacob -- ?????????, ????????
Composer: Yiddish songs just in case the words are familiar to them.
First line: Az ikh dermon zikh in mayne kinder yorn, pinkt vi a kholem..
First line (Yiddish):??? ???? ??????? ??? ??? ???? ?????? ?????, ?????? ?? ?? ????.
[whenever I paste in Yiddish characters they look okay until I submit and then they transmute to ?? but sometimes a Mudcat editor can fix them)

I looked for a Chanukah song with the word "lustiker" rather than "lijtiker". "Khanuke" by M. Revesman mentions "dreyl" in the second verse and the first verse is:

Khanuke, o, khanuke,
A yontef, a sheyner,
A lustiker, a freylekher,
Nito nokh azeyner.

I see Monique says she has tried other spellings too.

I know about the Ruth Rubin archives at Yivo, but find doing an online search there difficult. I emailed a few people who sing and teach Yiddish songs just in case the words are familiar to them.
