Arum dem fayer Around the campfire
Mir zingen lider We sing songs
Di nakht iz tayer The night is sweet
Me vert nit mider We don't get tired
Un zol der fayer And if the fire
Farloshn vern Goes out
Shaynt oyf der himl The heavens shine
Mit zayne shtern With their stars
To kroynt di kep So crown our heads
Mit blumen-kranstn With flower garlands
Arum dem fayer Around the fire
Mirn freylekh tantsn We'll dance happily
Vayl tants un lider Since dance and songs
Iz undzer lebn Are our life
Dernokh in shlof And then in sleep
Khaloymes shvebn We spin dreams
It's so heartwarming to listen to these iconic Yiddish songs of yesteryear. I know them so well and enjoyed them for 93 years...
Rav David shalom aliechem ! I wish you mazel und brocha ! And shavua tov ! from London,England. I am a sephardi greek but I do love these yiddish songs and klezmer music.
God bless you. I hope you're doing well. This is truly beautiful, wonderful, joyous music.

Tragically, Hitler and the Nazis pretty well destroyed Yiddish culture. It was a vibrant culture full of great writers, musicians, philosophers, painters, and wonderful salt of the earth people.
It is truly a blessing to keep this language alive. A mitzvah to keep it alive with a rendition of this wonderful song. It moves me so much because I feel a strong connection to my ancestral roots in Poland, Ukraine and Russia. This song rendition has so many layers of meaning and artistic merit.
The spirits of the dead are freed by this soulful music. Yasha koyech!
Beautiful reminder of a time with rich souls. I think that's part of the attraction people from various walks have to Yiddish who want to connect to something deeper than common connection- starved culture.
That Dumkopf Hitler and all of the rest of them hopped up on Pervitin (meth) along with the German military at the time and much of the population with their ideology of fairy tales lost. People who buy into that thinking now clearly have no clue what a house of cards and scraped together bunk that whole thinking is built on.
Am Yisrael chai. Baruch dayan ha Emet.
They really didn't do that tho? That just didn't happen. "Yiddish" music style was most of the music in israel for a very very very long time only In hebrew before they started trying to be like the west and ahskenazi culture also still exists again
@@מעין-צ9ג in Israel it's not trying to be like the West or Ashkenazi. People are coming from all places in the world to return to the homeland reborn and that means many different flavors. Ashkenazim are one group of a pie with many pieces, so to speak. 6 million people who largely spoke Yiddish were murdered which is a huge dent in what was already a small minority in the world. Jews are currently .02% of the world population and even now not back to the numbers before the Nazi genocide of these humans. It was destroyed as it existed then. It's up to current generations to pass on the music and language or go back and revive it. Even then, the YIVO version isn't the same as the current living version where many terms have morphed.
Obviously it's not dead. The way it was is gone though. The communities simply aren't there any more and generationally people are different. It is preserved and present for current generations to learn and appreciate in new ways, to tie back to those roots of people who were largely lost - whole family trees and majority sections of family trees lost.
The things to do now are to live life, all Jews to be responsible for each other all as mishpucha, remember the rich arts from the past as foundations for the present, and be proud of heritage which means actively addressing anti-Semitism from addressing bullies to educating people about new forms like BDS and demonization of Israel which only live because of confirmation bias built on poor and biased information.
The thing about being one of the smallest minorities in the world is the challenge of countering the irrational mentality of anti-Semitism which lives because people don't really know Jews (small number) and circularly, because of anti-Semitism people don't know Jews.... basically a cyclical recurring irrational bias of ignorance.
@@zlauriault stopping you on that first sentence: literally take a look at Israel in any way it's insanely westernized lmao it does not matter where people come from it literally doesn't change this fact
Even worse. Many peoples, cultures and languages vanished, others are suffering a lot, for instance Palestinians, Yemens, Inuits, Indians, ... in spite of reconciliation ideals and "western values".
I am Hungarian and I enjoy music no matter where it is from, Jewish , Arab ,Turkish French, Italian soo on , if its good it is good!
Same here. Music of all kinds are beautiful to me.
Well said. There are only two types of music. Good music and bad music- Louis Armstrong
Добро jутра, мадјар ) Свако благо теби да на сваки дан)
Ameen to that.
Superbe! avec toutes mes pensées aux copains et amis juifs qui ont contribué à bâtir ma façon de penser et de vivre. Mon enfance en alsace dans les années 50 avec les grand-mères qui fredonnaient en yiddish lors des gouters de 4 heures que nous partagions, nous les goys avec tant de plaisir, en nous délectant des talents des pâtissières. Mon ami Alex qui de Pologne ,en marchant embraqua à Odessa pour rallier l'armée anglaise en Egypte alors qu'il n'avait que 16 ans. Repose en paix Alex .Moshe & sa future épouse rescapés de la Shoah, hébergés avec d'autres enfants par les bonnes soeurs à Pau, embarquant en 1945 pour Israêl où il fit carrière dans l'armée etc...Shalom à toutes & à tous.
OK, I'm a punk rocker and this is not my style, but that gorgeous babe has an awesome voice. :) I like this.
And the guy who sings with her has an awesome coat!
Thanks Tim and thanks for having an open mind!
Check out yiddish folk metal
Oh! This is so beautiful it melts my heart as I think of my wonderful Mother. May she Rest In Peace.
Cuantos recuerdos ,nostalgias que esta canción me trae, mis padres la cantaban junto con amigos, es emblemática y llena de esperanza
Thank you so much for this amazing performance of such a treasure of secular Yiddish culture. It´s a gem, no doubt about it and the voices perfectly match the tune, with a special mention to the female vocalist, who is utterly superb. Danke sheyn/todah rabah. Greetings from Brazil.
Beautiful, growing up in Poland, we had Jewish summer camps and learn this song. Brings memories ❤💙
Tez pamietam te piosenke, wokol ogniska. Z obozow TSKZ. POzdrawian.
How beautiful !as a kid 65 years ago we sang this around a campfire in Hout Bay South Africa.With love and thanks from Israel !
Jackie Shmueli hi Jackie! Do you speak Yiddish? My name is Miryasha. I am from Vladivostok, Russia but now I live in United States. I teach children how to speak Yiddish!
Yes Miryaska, a zabrohana Yiddish with a lithuanian accent. Keep up the good work teaching young kids.Vladivostok is a long way from Israel,the other side of the world. Are there many Jews left there ? Good Pesah greetings to you and family Jackie.
A campfire?you were Habonim or Betar ?
Yes that is right Betar 1954,thanks@@technicaldept.5050

Божественное исполнение, голоса звучат ангельски,

Шпильберг исполняет Арум Дем Файер с участием Светланы Кундиш и Менди Кахан. Шпильберг - Даниэль Хоффман - скрипка, Таль Кун - контрабас, Эли Премингер - Труба, Яир Зальцман - ударные, и Ира Ширан - аккордеон.
Yiddish is quite nice. My native language is German and you get Yiddish as an extra. 😁 Its 90% German. I guess if you wanted you could learn it in 3 months...
This song is in Klal-Yiddish "Standard Yiddish". You could learn Klal-Yiddish as a German speaker in that short a time, but no native Yiddish speaker speaks Klal-Yiddish. At most, 40-50% of the words are of Germanic origin in the Galitzish dialect that I speak. You wouldn't have much difficulty with the grammar, vocabulary - your German probably wouldn't be as helpful.
Many wonderful Yiddish songs are sad and hauntingly beautiful! My husband's grandmother was born in Kiev and came to the states in the late 1800s and sang all the old Yiddish songs and had them recorded as well. Also love Klezmer music! My husband's great uncle was Leon Blank, an actor in the Yiddish theater on the lower East Side of Manhattan who knew Molly Picon who played Yenta in the great movie, Fiddle on the Roof. Thanks for sharing, gorgeous!
My grandparents were also from Kyiv and resettled in Brooklyn. On Sundays my parents would bring home bagels and we'd listen to klezmer on the radio. I feel this song deep in my bones.
Спасибо ☺️, очень классная музыка и отличное исполнение 👍❤️😀🌺🩸 просто огонь 🔥 Вы молодцы 👏, хочется слушать бесконечно 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Absolutely heartening beautiful!!
As Afrikaner Boer who recently discovered my Ashkenazim heritage, I am overwhelmed by the beauty of the music, strinking into somewhere deeper than my meagre soul. Thank you for playing, rendering
Magnifique! chant, voix, instruments de musique 🙏💓
Thank you 2019 UA-cam recommendation 😃

💙🇮🇱😍🇮🇱💙Peace and Love, Always and Forever 💙🇮🇱😍🇮🇱💙
Whilst listening to some of the Yiddish songs, it is almost as if the fate of many Jews were in the words and music. Truly Hauntingly Beautiful.
I love that the beautiful lyrics are available in Yiddish and English. Friends, the lyrics are available by pushing the little button that turns comments on and off. It is very easy to sing along with them.
Beautiful song and so is the rendition. Thank you so much!
I'm 100% mutt, 90% human 10% mechanical and I FREAKING LOVE THIS!!!
From America, land of mutts, I salute this lovely music so beautifully performed!!
@@blathermore If we fully embraced our "muttishness" what a leap forward that would be.
That makes you 200 per cent😅
How beautifull !
Thank you. Your souls are in this magical music
Truly an exceptionally beautiful song artistically sung. Thanks so much for the transliteration of the Yiddish with English alongside. This makes the song even more special!!!
Wow! What a beautiful song! I really enjoy ethnic folk music. ❤️🎵
KOL HAKOVED !!!
A beautiful song and a heart-felt rendition.
MORT-the-SPORT
You wanted to say "kol hakavod", "koved" is weight :).
Who recorded this? It sounds incredible.
lovely! was searching for a most beautfull yiddish song to learn and you gave me the gift, touched my heart joyfully. Thanks!
is there an English translation
The English translation is posted right there -- below the credits. Just click on "Show more." If you mean you'd like a "singable" translation (where the English words fit the melody better and rhyme), you might try to write one yourself.
There is a reason so much Jewish music, Gypsy music and Russian music sounds similar. The composers all shared hard and tragic histories.
Reply to Joseph Van's comment. "Yes".
Gypsies were employed by the Jews to play klezmer music.
Very beautiful! Great voices & great singing!
my father talk Yiddish great music 🎶 bella voice heartening and beautiful ❤
i love remembering 😢 his belong Jewish culture 👍
This is beautiful, especially the accompanying instruments
By the end of this song I had tears my my eyes......beautiful!
Hauntingly beautiful. Like bringing back bubbe. I’m so sorry I never learned to speak Yiddish properly.
Don't feel bad neither did I.
There is always time to learn. I grew up with no one speaking Yiddish in my family and now I’m learning
Doulingo added yiddish in april
This seems to be the song of Nel Martini (aka Radu Teodorescu), composed around 1930. First singer was Jean Moscopol (I think in 1934). The Yiddish people from Romania loved it and put it on Yiddish lyrics (for my taste much better than Romanian lyrics, that are very, very, very sad). The name of the song was "Mână birjar". If you copy
Jean Moscopol Mână birjar
and search on youtube you can listen the original form. You can find other Romanian variants, but I think nothing as good as the original one AND this Yiddish version that is AMAZING.
שָׁלוֹם לְךָ
Magnifique ! Toda raba.
only one word....beautiful and hauntingly
my father talk Yiddish great music 🎶 bella voice heartening and beautiful ❤
i love remembering 😢 his belong Jewish culture 👍this moment is amazing thanks……..
Ojalá que algún día la gente viva y deje vivir al prójimo, aunque sus ideas sean la antítesis.
This is beautiful!
Absolute perfection!❤️
Love this part … 1:47. He comes swaying out with the tempo of the music and brings perfect balanced melody to the tune. ❤️❤️
You are magician, with love from New Jersey, USA
The music makes me uneasy. A red mark is flashing and tells me: here lives the sorrow.
There is always a touch of sorrow in Jewish music, not only because it is normally sung in a minor key, but also because it speaks of the continual sorrow of the people of Israel. Am Yisrael Chai!
Sehr scheyn.
So beautiful! Thank you!
Gorgeous and evocative!
Beautifully done Whats with the thumbs down?
What would Eastern and Cenral Europe be now if there was no Holocaust? So much lost.
Here is an old version of the song, in romanian, aroun 1920/30 watch?v=MpLIQeqwiyI
Bravo!❤❤
So beautiful ❤️ always love Jewish music ❤️
Competence in arts and high intelligence is a blessing of God given to the Jewish nation…👏👏👏🏆
Super song, super performance. 💝
This is beautiful.
Really nice! I Enjoyed!
Браво,клейзмерим !
It's a nice song but it's more folkloric than haunting. Ofra Hazah's voice was haunting.
They didn't say it was the singers voice that was haunting. Just the song itself
My dear brothers the master will soon be here let’s make him happy with song
The text of this song is more beautiful than the song itself.
from PERSIA ArmeniA with Passion
why do I cry listening to this...
We cry, because we think of all the folks that used to sing this lovely song and then their lives were snuffed out. How good that some of us are still alive and can relate to this with emotion! It's OK to cry; in today's world, there's plenty to cry about!
❤❤ magnifique le son merveilleux du violon bravo la musique nous amene dans des contrées inconnues ou tout est beaute
King David wanted Psalms sent to glorify God 24\7 . Good to see King David's music is still on the march all these generations later. Excellent for the Soul and the ears. Shabbat Shalom .
Красивая песня. Исполнители на высоте. Очень органичны и деликатны. Спасибо!
Beautiful! Play at my birthdays, my weddings & my funeral . . .
יפה מאוד! קול מדהים!

Beautiful song and accompanied by an excellent orchestra............just love Jewish people as they have contributed much to the betterment of our world as we know it. Worked most of my life for huge Jewish companies, learned a lot from them and today I'm my own boss, enjoying the fruits and freedom it brings. My favourite city is Jerusalem by far and hope to return there soon.......shalom.
Quelle douceur dans cette belle interprétation. Merci.

This song goes straight to your heart! COULD SOMEBODY TRANSLATE THE LIRICS? Too bad I didn't learn the language of my great grandparents...
Супер!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Солистка бесподобна.......
This is so beautiful, so touching, what a lovely voice and such a good accompanist. Unhappily It makes me remember all our poor people who were slaughtered by the german devils, all the wonderful talent lost, singers, yiddish theatre etc.
Ni9ce song... but the people are more beautiful.
Shalom from Titusville, Fl USA
הערלעך שיין!

Bonne et douce vie à vous, mes chers amis.

At 1:46, like an ET, Shpielberg (not S. Spielberg), appears and gives the term close encounters of the third kind a new meaning.
Обожаю еврейские песни и именно на языке идыш,от которого веет домашним теплом в истинно еврейской семье
Am yisrael chai. Shalom now from Australia 🇦🇺. Israel 🇮🇱.
I am sephardi but love yiddish songs and klezmer music.
Let us keep the Jiddsch language alive! So beautiful. I am afraid it will dksappear.
It won't disappear. There is nowadays every year in Poland a festival of the Jewish culture!
יישר־כּוח! ייִדישע שײַטער־ראָמאַנטיק - טאַקע אַ מחיה! י
Yo siento cercanía con esta música ya que tengo orígenes cristianos, musulmanes y judíos.
Why my drama teacher wants us to sing this song in a play about Swedish/Romani conflict is beyond me
(Very beautiful song though)
Reaches the depths of my heart
perfect!
This takes me back a long way...thanks so much...
