30 Nov 11 - 05:09 PM (#3266336) Subject: Lyr Req: Klezmatics: 'Eyn mol' From: Jack Campin I have it on the 1997 CD "Possessed" (with Yiddish, transliterated Yiddish and English translation) but it would be handy to have it in a form I can just print on an A4 sheet. Anybody got it? Google comes up with nothing. |

01 Dec 11 - 02:41 AM (#3266517) Subject: ADD: Eyn Mol Tu Ikh Zikh Banayen From: Joe Offer What a great song! It sounds almost like a sea chantey. EYN MOL TU IKH ZIKH BANAYEN (At Least Once I Feel Revitalized) Oy, eyn mol, eyn mol, eyn mol, eyn mol, Eyn mol, eyn mol, tu ikh zikh banayen; A gantse vokh horevet men dokh, Oyf shabes darf men layen... Oy, layen, layen? Layen, layen — Layen, layen zol men nisht badarfn: Shabes on khreyn kon men zikh bageyn, Ober nisht on bronfn... Oy, bronfn, bronfn? Bronfn, bronfn — Bronfn dos iz mayn nekhome; Un az ikh nem a kos nokh a kos, Derkvik ikh mayn neshome! Mayn neshome, mayn neshome? Mayn neshome Mit mayn nekhome zaynen dokh in gantsn Un az ikh nem a kos nokh a kos, Geyen di fiselekh tantsn... Tantsn, tantsn? Tantsn, tantsn? — Tantsn iz gor a hoykhe mide; Un az ikh nem a kos nokh a kos, Tanz ikh mit a khside! Mit a khside? Mit a khside? Mit a khside iz dokh a groyse aveyre; Ober az ikh nem a kos nokh a kos, Hob ikh nit keyn breyre... Tsu tantsn, tsu zingen, tsu shpringen - Dertsu tu ikh toygn; Az ikh makh a shnaps nokh a shnaps, Bakum ikh klore oygn. Oygn, oygn, oygn, oygn, Oygn, oygn hob ikh klore; Az ikh makh a shnaps nokh a shnaps Iz shehakol nihyo bidvoroy At least once I feel revita1ised The whole week I work, But on the day of Shabbath, I permit myself a little drink of shnapps And feel rejuvenated. I feel a sense of solace, My feet itch to dance, to jump, And I sing for joy. Source: Anthology of Yiddish Folksongs (Hebrew University of Jerusalem), volume 3, p. 28 Sorry about the [abridged] translation. I'll see if I can find a better one. I almost can figure this one out, but not quite. MIDI available on request, if you're nice. -Joe- |

01 Dec 11 - 07:16 PM (#3267012) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Klezmatics: 'Eyn mol' From: Jack Campin There's a translation on the CD. I took along to the local klez group this evening and Simon Carlyle said it was wildly inaccurate in places. We meet again in two weeks - I'll post a fixed version of the Klezmatics translation after that. |
