Line 1: |
| Today we sang all the songs. First the chorus and then as mini-groups of 2 of each bass, tenor, alto, soprano. I'd never been in a practice like this. I was a little nervous. We went through the set, the bass lineup was thinning. Shit, what if we're out of basses by vacht oyf. There's one part in that song where I have trouble even getting the words out of my mouth in time.

| ====ABI GEZINT====
| |
| by Abe Ellstein and Molly Picon
| |
| <poem>
| |
| A little sun a little rain
| |
| A BISL ZIN A BISL REGN
| |
| A quiet place the head to lay
| |
| A RUIK ORT DEM KOP TSU LEGN
| |
| As long as healthy can one happy be
| |
| ABI GEZINT KEN MEN GLIKLEKH ZAYN
| |
|
| |
| A shoe a sock a clothing without patches
| |
| A SHUKH A ZOK A KLEYD ON LATES
| |
| In pocket a three four coins
| |
| IN KESHENE A DRAY FIR ZLOTES
| |
| As long as healthy can one happy be
| |
| ABI GEZINT KEN MEN GLIKLEKH ZAYN
| |
|
| |
| The air is free for each equally
| |
| DI LUFT IS FRAY FAR YEDN GLAYKH
| |
| The sun it shines for each one poor or rich
| |
| DI ZIN ZI SHAYNT FAR YEDN EYNEM OREM ODER RAYKH
| |
|
| |
| A little joy a little laughter
| |
| A BISL FREYD A BISL LAKHN
| |
| A time with friends a little schnaps make
| |
| A MOL MIT FRAYNT A SHNEPSL MAKHN
| |
| As long as healthy can one happy be
| |
| ABI GEZINT KEN MEN GLIKLEKH ZAYN
| |
|
| |
| One seeks wealth, one seeks power
| |
| EYNER ZIKHT ASHIRES EYNER ZIKHT GEVIRES
| |
| Take over the whole world
| |
| AYNNEMEN DI GANTSE VELT
| |
| One thinks the entire happiness depends only on money
| |
| EYNER MEYNT DOS GANTSE GLIK HEYNGT NOR OP IN GELT
| |
| They should all seek, they should all crawl
| |
| ZOLN ALE ZIKHN ZOLN ALE KRIKHN
| |
| Only I think by me
| |
| NOR IKH TRAKHT BAY MIR
| |
| I need that “like a hole in my head”
| |
| IKH DARF DOS OYF KAPORES
| |
| Because the happiness stands by my door
| |
| VAYL DOS GLIK SHTEYT BAY MAYN TIR.

| |
| Oh come already quiet evening and rock the fields (to sleep)
| |
| O KUM SHOYN SHTILER OVNT, UN VIG DI FELDER AYN.
| |
| We sing you a praise-song, oh dear evening light
| |
| MIR ZINGEN DIR A LOYB-LID, O LIBER OVNT SHAYN.
| |
|
| |
| How quiet it has become, it becomes the air already cold
| |
| VI SHTIL ES IZ GEVORN, ES VERT DI LUFT SHOYN KALT.
| |
| Its song has already ended the nightingale in forest
| |
| ZAYN LID HOT SHOYN FARENDIKT DER NAKHTIGAL IN VALD.
| |
|
| |
| It becomes darker the meadow, it comes the night to go
| |
| S’VERT TUNKELER DI LONKE, ES KUMT DI NAKHT TSU GEYN.
| |
| The dear white birches remain standing in field alone
| |
| DI VAYSINKE BERYOZE BLAYBT SHTEYN IN FELD ALEYN.

|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Oh come, quiet evening, and rock the fields to sleep.
| |
| We sing you a song of praise, oh dear evening light.
| |
| How quiet it has become, the air is becoming cold.
| |
| The nightingale has finished its song in the forest.
| |
| The meadow is getting darker, night is coming.
| |
| The dear white birches are left standing alone in the field.

| Amen, amen, this is the truth
