As Es Brent is posted in another compilation discussion thread, Holocaust/Shoa songs, I will also add lyrics to this thread. The linked post was by Guest, Gerry in Jan. 2008. I knew of the song and looked it up elsewhere, so I'm posting what I copied from http://www.musiques-regenerees.fr/GhettosCamps/Ghettos/EsBrent.html
1. Es brent! Briderlekh, 's brent! Oy undzer orem shtetl, nebokh, brent Beyze vintn mit irgozn Raysn brekhn un tzeblozn Shtarker nokh di vilde flamen Altz arum shoyn brent!
Refrain Un ir shteyt un kukt azoy zikh mit verlegter hent un ir shteyt un kukt azoy zikh Undzer shtetl brent
2. 'S brent, briderlekh, 's brent! Oy undzer orem shtetl nebekh brent 'S hobn shoyn di fartzungen 'S gantze shtetl aygengetzungen Un di beyze vintn hudzhen 'S gantze shtetl brent!
Refrain
3. 'S brent, briderlekh, 's brent! Oy skon kholile kumen der moment Undzer shtot mit undz tzuzamen Zol oyf ash avek in flamen Blaybn zol, vi nokh a shlakht Nor puste shvaze vent!
Refrain
4. 'S brent briderlekh s'brent! Di hilf iz nor in aykh aleyn gevendt Oyb dos shtetl iz aykh tayer Lesht mit ayer eign blut Bavayzt az ir dos kent
Shteyt nit brider ot azoy zikh Mit farleygte hent Shteyt nit brider lesht dos fayer Undzer shtetl brent!
1. It's burning, brothers, it's burning! Oy, our poor shtetl is burning, Raging winds are fanning the wild flames And furiously tearing, Destroying and scattering everything. All around, all is burning
Refrain And you stand and look just so, you With folded hands... And you stand and look just so, While our shtetl burns.
2. It's burning, brothers, it's burning! Oy, our poor shtetl is burning, The moment is at hand when, God forbid, Our town, along with all of us, Will be turned to ashes by the flames, And only bare, black walls will remain As after a battle.
3. Our town is burning, And only you can save it! Extinguish the fire with your very blood, If you must!
4. Don't just stand there, brothers, With folded hands. Don't stand there, put out the fire! Our shtetl is burning!

I prefer to write 's brent rather than s' brent, because the missing letter comes before the s (es = it).
