Petrus Schroderus - A yiddishe mame - On katseessa äidin

Petrus Schroderus, tenor Markus Vaara, piano Antti Untamala, violin A Yiddishe mame, Jack Yellen/Lew Pollack, Sauvo Puhtila I’d like to ask of you a question, tell me who knows With which dear possession does God bless everyone It cannot be bought for no money, it’s given only for free And when it is lost, how many tears are shed. A second is given nobody, no cry can help, Oy, he who has lost it, he already knows what I mean. A Yiddishe Mame It doesn’t get better on this earth A Yiddishe Mame, How bitter when she is missing. How nice and bright it is at home, when the Mame is here How sad and dark it becomes, when God takes her In water, through fire, she would have run for her child Not to hold her dear, is surely the greatest sin, How lucky and rich is the one who has Such a beautiful gift presented from God Like an old Yiddishe Mame My Yiddishe Mame!
