– A Shabbos dish with gefilte fish, and a little chrain on the side.
– Some cholent in the pot and a kugel nice and hot, oh! makes me warm inside!
– *yiddish food* Chicken
– And drinking a L’chaim with the cup’s in Shamayim – oy yo, oh Bubby that’s what I like!

Oh Bubby, that’s what I like!
(When the stuffed cabbage and matzah balls are spinning in the belly like dreidels, and the tzimmes [not sure – cooked carrots?]
and the chicken make the throat a little dry, you can drink a l’chaim until the head is in the sky. [It loses something 🙂 … ])
…zug mir (?), vi macht di zeideh
(Tell me, how’s the Zeide doing?)
No? Yeah. Yeah? No!
Takeh, er hut fahrloiren di tzein?
(Really, he lost his [false] teeth?)
Oy, ah bruch!
Uhn kim nisht shpeit?
(And don’t come late?)
Oy, Bubby, du trachtst as mein fazhlabite car kenst
azoi schnell dreiven azoi veit vi south Fallsburg? [Not exact]
Oy, Bubby, do you think my [junky/decrepit?] car
can drive as far as South Fallsburg that quickly?
By the way, who can tell me what’s unique about
“The Big K’nocker” out of all of his songs?
Comlink: Seems great! Don’t remember when I last heard this song but if you’re looking for the word (hope I’m spelling it right) ???????????? (as in car here) it means rusty.
And tzimmes is cooked SWEET carrots.
Great job overall, but if you’re really bored you can brush up on your Yiddish grammar…
heshy walfish?
Mammele – Yes, that’s the word.
Skripka – No.
I forgot to mention that I don’t know how to translate “bruch.”
(Also, I think there are two “No? Yeah.”s before the “Yeah? No!”)
why not? which other song does he sing?
Oh, I see what you mean now. That wasn’t what I meant,
although it might be true.
The song’s title character is named after the original artist.
