Yiddish,<\/span>
\n<\/span>You lived across the sea<\/span>
\n<\/span>In <\/span>die alte haim<\/span><\/em>, the Old Country,<\/span>
\n<\/span>In a kingdom that is no more.<\/span>
\n<\/span>Come to my country<\/span>
\n<\/span>To teach me the <\/span>lieder<\/span><\/em>, the songs<\/span>
\n<\/span>You once sang<\/span>
\n<\/span>And the <\/span>niggunim<\/span><\/em>, the tunes<\/span>
\n<\/span>Your clarinetists and your violinists used to play.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speak to me, Yiddish,<\/span>
\n<\/span>I fear I am becoming as mute as you,<\/span>
\n<\/span>Another <\/span>Bontshe Schveig<\/span><\/em>, Bontshe the Silent.<\/span>
\n<\/span>Look, I have brought you a buttered roll,<\/span>
\n<\/span>I have brought you raisins and almonds<\/span>
\n<\/span>And a little white goat to sleep under your bed.<\/span>
\n<\/span>Yiddish, <\/span>mein tei’ereh<\/span><\/em>, my precious one,<\/span>
\n<\/span>Light your <\/span>Shabbos<\/em> <\/span>candles<\/span>
\n<\/span>And let me hear your voice.<\/span><\/p>\n

And dance with me, Yiddish, we shall dance together<\/span>
\n<\/span>Like a <\/span>chasan<\/span><\/em> and <\/span>kolleh<\/span><\/em>, a bridegroom and bride,<\/span>
\n<\/span>With only a handkerchief between us,<\/span>
\n<\/span>Gelibte meine<\/span><\/em>, my beloved one. <\/span>
\n<\/span>Zog mir<\/span><\/em>, tell me, please \u2014 <\/span>
\n<\/span>What light in the night-sky will the world know<\/span>
\n<\/span>And who shall pull its tides<\/span>
\n<\/span>Without the <\/span>levoneh<\/span><\/em>, the moon, of a Yiddish word?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I wander in a castle’s unweeded garden,<\/span>
\n<\/span>In an untended orchard, in a forest,<\/span>
\n<\/span>And cannot find my way.<\/span>
\n<\/span>Perhaps you can be my guide,<\/span>
\n<\/span>Shaine Yiddish<\/span>, <\/span>die bas-melech<\/span>,<\/span><\/em>
\n<\/span>Beautiful Yiddish, princess \u2014<\/span>
\n<\/span>For I am lost,<\/span>
\n<\/span>Lost in translation.<\/span><\/p>\n
