Hey, guys.
I'm not learning yiddish, nor am I jewish. But I recently remembered this song, called "Hulyet, hulyet, kinderlekh" (pardon if that's not the correct way to write it) and wanted to share it with you. I really like this version, as it kinda gives goosebumps.
I also know the version by Zupfgeigenhansel, too.
Good stuff!
Ill have to give this a listen! Rough translation of the title: "play, play, children" with childrenint the first diminutive.
Thanks for sharing!
The thing is, I can totally understand many parts of yiddish, because I speak German. Both languages are very similar.
They definitely have a lot of overlap! Loshn koydesh is probably (imo) the hardest part of yiddish (for non hebrew speakers), and after that is the vowel shifts common to some communuties (e.g. in the song בײַ מיר ביסטו שײן / bay mir bistu shayn, as performed by the barry sisters, we hear the vowel shift from 'u' -> 'i').
You're welcome!
Heres another yiddish childrens song, if youre interested: https://y.donttrackme.fossware.space/watch?v=1Zsn3SmMYUE
