about

A traditional Yiddish folk song, with English lyrics by Michael Wartofsky

lyrics

Farkoyfn di sapozhkelekh
Un forn oyf di droyzhkelekh
Abi mit dirn eynem tsu zayn
Oy ikh on dir un du on mir
Vi a kloymke on a tir
Ketsele feygele mayn

Oy forn oyf di vogzolekhlakh
Un farkoyfn fremde shalekhlakh
Abi mit dirn eynem tsu zayn
Oy ikh on dir un du on mir
Vi a kloymke on a tir
Ketsele feygele mayn

Ay dy dy dy...

Oy esn on a tishele
Un shlofn on a kishele
Abi mit dirn eynem tsu zayn
Oy ikh on dir un du on mir
Vi a kloymke on a tir
Ketsele feygele mayn

Ay dy dy dy...

Sell the shoes from off my feet
Surrender my last bite to eat
To spend my days with you and with no other
Oh like a room without a floor
Like a doorknob with no door
We do not exist without each other

Ay dy dy dy...

_______________________________

I'd sell my dear boots
And ride on little wagons
As long as I can be with you
Oh me without you and you without me
Is like a doorknob without a door
My kitten, my little bird

I'd go in all the railway stations
And sell scarves to strangers
As long as I can be with you
Oh me without you and you without me
Is like a doorknob without a door
My kitten, my little bird

Ay dy dy dy...

I'd eat without a table
And sleep without a pillow
As long as I can be with you
Oh me without you and you without me
Is like a doorknob without a door
My kitten, my little bird

Wandering Laughter Boston, Massachusetts

Klezmer trio Wandering Laughter is a lively collaboration between cellist Taiward Wider fiddler Cecilia Vacanti and accordionist Alexander LaCava. Based in the city of Boston, all three attended Berklee College of Music. Wandering Laughter plays music that is by turns heartfelt and invigorating. Just a few Yiddish troubadours spreading mazl (luck) freyd (joy), and of course gelekhter (laughter). ... more
