You know the really beautiful song that Shwekey sang a few years back (I think in Caesaria) in both the Yiddish and English (and I think Hebrew version)
December 3, 2010 7:49 am at 7:49 am #714866Dr. DovvshteinMemberIm pretty sure the original is written by abie rotenberg, its on one of the dveykus CDs.
but the original is a all yiddish and with many different words.

December 3, 2010 9:04 am at 9:04 am #714868YW Moderator-42ModeratorIn A’Vinkeleh from Dveykus 2 was composed by Shweky’s Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Davidowitz the Rosh Yeshiva in Rochester. I think the lyrics of the original song and Shweky’s version are both by Abie Rotenberg

December 3, 2010 11:25 am at 11:25 am #714870Feif UnParticipantCan someone post the original lyrics? My yiddish isn’t great, and there are a few words I was never able to make out.
December 5, 2010 6:00 am at 6:00 am #714871chofetzchaimMembernot sure if all the words are correct
in avinkele shteit
a yid un veint
vayil zein kint
in milchama geit
un de treren vivasser gissen
ashteiten ner beit
oh oh oh
tatte tatte
tatte tatte
mir haben shoin gnut dorch gemach
mir haben shoin gnut dorch gemach
second time
nah al tishkachenu
leva tahor translated version of the low part of the song
in a corner stands a jew
and he’s crying for his child going to war
and his tears are flowing like water
he stands and he prays
to his father in heaven
December 5, 2010 5:34 pm at 5:34 pm #714872midwesternerParticipantActually the 6th line should be:
Ehr shteit und er beit
Tzu zein Tatte in Himmel
December 5, 2010 5:36 pm at 5:36 pm #714873msseekerMemberCorrection:
in a vinkele shteit
a yid un veint
vayl zein kint
in milchama geit
un de treren vi vasser gissen
er shteit un er beit
tzu zein tatte in himel
tatte tatte
tatte tatte
mir haben shoin genug dorch gemacht
mir haben shoin genug dorch gemacht

We have already gone through enough.
December 6, 2010 7:58 pm at 7:58 pm #714878msseekerMemberWIY, I think so. It seems like an old song from the times of forced conscription.
