cast of fiddler on the roof (yiddish) 2018 - to marry for love lyrics

love doesn’t put a turnip on the table
or a pickle or a prune
love doesn’t put a radish in the bin
while you’re looking at the moon
love doesn’t pay the tinker, doesn’t pay the tailor, doesn’t pay the cobbler
love doesn’t buy a cemetery plot
not love
doesn’t put a shawl around your shoulders
or a mattress on your bed
love doesn’t put a stocking on your foot
or a roof above your head
since marriage is to fill a home with children
it’s not for us to marry for love

you think it’s funny
but you won’t by and by
when you are thе gleam in yenta’s eyеs
[as yenta] “are you the lucky girl?”

[as yenta] hodl! hey hodl! have i made a match for you!
you wanted learned scholar, true? true!
you’d never expect to pray like this
in such a handsome youth
he’s always asking questions to discover the truth
hodl, meet mendl!”
[as mendl] what? what? what did you say? what? speak up! who? where? where are you? who am i? which one is the girl? whaaa, whaaat?
your turn is coming soon!

[as yenta] chava! hey chava! tonight is your lucky night!
you’d welcome a wealthy merchant, right? right!
i couldn’t begin to tell you all the trouble i went through
to make him take a poverty+stricken nothing like you
chava, meet reb midas!
[as reb midas] ah, don’t thank me, child! do you like this diamond? good! you may look at it on sundays, mondays and tuesdays. you will be allowed to eat at my table on wednesdays, thursdays, and fridays. and on the sabbath, you may actually look at me. please, don’t kiss my feet: i catch cold easily

it isn’t funny to be nearing the day
when papa and mama flatly say
love doesn’t come til after you get married
why not have it at the start
love doesn’t put an apple in your hand
but it nourishes the heart!
love doesn’t keep the rain out, doesn’t keep the sleet out doesn’t keep the snow off
so? happiness is more than keeping dry
why
love doesn’t put a fire in the fireplace
but it warms a loving wife
love doesn’t put the sugar in your tea
but it sweetens up a life
love doesn’t have a thing to do with marriage
and yet! and yet! and yet!
where is it written that it’s wrong to marry for love
