    Yeah, I do. But it takes me forever to type in hebrew lettering. I'll try to make time for it later or tom if I can.

    Why don't you type the Hebrew words with English letters?

    Try this, it's the letters in alphabetical order with nekudos and even the Yiddish vowels on the bottom:

    CR Queen - “Best of luck. Avoid roasted cabbage, don’t eat earwax, and look on the bright side of life!”

    Yiddish Country:

    A pile of bills, old cheap thrills
    Working late night at the old stone mill
    These cars and lies, French and fries
    What do you see if you close your eyes?

    New boots on the floor, sign on the door
    Don’t want to see you come around no more
    You got your gold neck ties, sweet pumpkin pies
    What do you see on rodeo drive?

    If there’s a who, there’s a why
    There’s a we, there’s a way
    I call that raison d’être

    If there’s a who, there’s a why
    There’s a we, there’s a way
    I can hear the sages say

    If there’s a who, there’s a why
    There’s a we, there’s a way
    Make it happen all today

    If there’s a who, there’s a why
    There’s a we, there’s a way
    A little bit is still okay

    (Chorus:)
    Di vos villen heren, heren
    Di vos villen zen, zen
    Di vos kenen kenen, kenen
    Men darf nor vissen ver un ven

    Avraham:

    Ssitting in the hot dessert sun, you’ve been told you’d be on the run
    Down to egypt to pharaoh’s town, to Rome and Spain and many other lands
    But you opened your doors to tired men, to lonely passersby and angels from heaven
    Your kindness and your care were known far and wide, father of a nation your soul is alive.

    (Chorus:)
    Avraham are we the children that you dreamed of?
    Are we the shining stars you saw at night?
    You know its true, we still call you avinu
    Our father our pride we’ve got your soul inside, take us home.

    You’ve been through every test, now look a small shul in the mid west
    A child was born just the other day, and all those gathered there heard his mother say
    Although its been three thousand years, and we’ve been fighting back all the tears
    One man’s lullaby a nation will survive, father of our people your dream is alive.

    (Chorus:)

    Your courage and your might, kept the pharaohs up at night
    No hand could hold you, no stranger would forget you.

    Avraham yes we’re the children that you dreamed of
    And we’re the shining stars you saw at night
    You know its true, it’s why we call you avinu
    Our father our pride we’ve got your soul inside, take us home.

    A simple copy & paste would probably be the easiest here

    מכניסי רחמים, אויף אידישע קינדער קוקטס ארום
    פאר כלל ישראל טוטס אייך אנשטרענגען
    מכניסי דמעה, הערטס אויס אונזער תפלה
    צום כסא הכבוד טוטס עס צוברענגען

    מכניסי דמעה, מיר ווייסן דאס
    אז אויבן אין הימל איז דא א גלאז
    וואס גייט אריין נאר א געוויסע מאס
    עס האלט זיך אין איין פארמערן
    פול מיט אידישע טרערן
    און ווען עס איז פול וועט מען אויסגעלייזט ווערן

    מיר זענען נאכנישט אויסגעלייזט - פארוואס?
    מכניסי דמעה ווי טיף איז שוין דאס גלאז?
    מרן די בשמיא לך מתחננן
    האבן מיר דען נאכנישט גענוג געטאן וויינען?

    עס האט זיך געגאסן טרערן אן א צאל
    ווען מיליאנען אידן האבן געשריגן "שמע ישראל"
    ביי די מלחמה יארן בימים ההם
    מסרו נפשם על קדושת השם

    און טאמער עס איז נישט גענוג די טרערן פון זיי
    וויפיל וויינען רפאנו ה' ונרפא?
    עס ווערט דאך אינגאנצן צוריסן די הרגשים
    ווען יונגע יתומים זאגן קדישים

    אוי טאטע טאטע וויפיל איז דער גבול?
    ווי אזוי קען זיין אז דאס גלעזל איז נאכנישט פול?
    נישט פאר אונזער כבוד טו עס
    שתשים דמעותינו בנאדך להיות
    ותוליכנו קוממיות

    מכניסי דמעה, בעטן איך וויל
    אויב דאס גלעזל איז נאכנישט פול
    בעטן מיר אן א קצבה
    דאס גלעזל זאל אנגעפולט ווערן
    נאר מיט אזעלכע טרערן
    וואס קומט ביי א שמחה אדער ביי א מצוה

    זענט עטס אמאל דורכגעגאנגען
    ווען טאטע מאמע פירן קינדער אונטער חופה שטאנגען?
    וויפיל טייכן טרערן עס האלט אין איין רינען
    פון חתן וכלה און אלע שושבינים

    און טאמער עס איז נישט גענוג די טרערן פון זיי
    ווען א מאמע בעט "יהי רצון מלפני ה' אלקי"
    יעדער פרייטאג צונאכט ביי הדלקת נרותי'ה
    ווען אם הבנים מבכה על בני'ה

    השתדלו והרבו תחנה
    שטייטס און בעטס ביים הייליגן שכינה
    דער רועה צאן נאמן למשל ולשנינה
    לשמע אל התפלה ואל הרנה

    פזמון

    מכניסי דמעה, הכניסו דמעותינו, לפני מלך מתרצה בדמעות

    therealmgama, do the ones from Yumi Lowy and Abish Brodt have the same words? I just remember a bit of the Abish Brodt version, and I don't see the words on your post. It's been years since I heard it, so I might be wrong, but I thought at the high part, he started with verse with "Heilige Bashefer".

    feif un - everyone who sings it changes a little, yumi lowy says techina instead of tefila מכניסי דמעה, הערטס אויס אונזער תפלה

    Feif Un - IIRC the lyrics were written by R' Yonosan Schwartz. He had R' Abish Brodt record it and released it for a simcha. He then tweeked the words a little and rerecorded for the official tape.
    Most notably he changed the words from רועה צאן נאמן למשל ולשנינה to צאן רועה נאמן למשל ולשנינה

    Mazel Tov, Newsreader!
    you want to know how I have the lyrics? Simple! I have the tape and the "jacket" that came with it! (I happen to be a big fan of Yonasan Schwartz's songs)
    Shalom Chaver - i always knew there were slightly different versions out there, and it's interesting to hear how they came about. But I don't see how צאן רועה נאמן makes any sense!

    and newsreader - i'm a bit confused! are you chassidish or not? cuz this is a very chassidishe song, (some lines won't rhyme if you sing them the litvishe way) but chassidim usually don't sing songs under the chuppah!

    I haven't heard the song in a while, but I do remember hearing the reason for the change. כי רועה צאן נאמן reflects הקב"ה, while the צאן רועה נאמן is כלל ישראל. It is more appropriate to say כי צאן רועה נאמן למשל ולשנינה.

    Therealmgama - i am a little chasiddish but we sing under the chupa. I had the song in hebrew sung under my chupa.

    Shalom Chaver, thanks for the clarification. I actually realized this myself as I was saying these words by slichos. It is written as צאן רועה נאמן and does make more sense that way. Now I don't understand why he would've switched the order originally....

    Newsreader, I just looked at the "jacket" of the tape again and there's one correction: He says העלאת נרותי'ה instead of הדלקת.
    By the way, you probably know this but wherever I wrote עס איז or עס האלט, he really says ס'איז or ס'האלט.

    Gut Voch and A Gut Gebentcht Yor!

    I listened to the version from Abish Brodt, and I was right - he switches the words Machnisei Dimah for heilige bashefer quite a few times.

    Does anyone know the words to MBD's Mi Keamcha Yisroel? It's on the Tamid B'Simcha album.

    did anyone hear the new MBD CD? just saw the ad yesterday I thought it was adorable and sad at the same time that he's not going to be producing more CD's. its like the end of a whole era.
