daniel kahn - der binyen lyrics
verse 1 [yiddish]:
un vos az der binyen vos du host geboyt
mit di eygene hent un mit tsigelekh royt
iz nit mer vi a hemdl tserisn, eyn tsoyt
un du shteyst a nakete biz tsu der hoyt?
verse 2 [yiddish]:
un vos az der binyen vos du host gekent
tsefalt zikh gor plutsim, tsi er vert gor farbrent
un du ligst mit akslen mit beyde un hent
bagrobn in di khurves fun dayne eygene vent?
chorus [yiddish]:
vos+zhe blaybst du epes azoy troyеrik zitsn?
lomir geyn a tentsl af di finger+shpitsn
a tеntsele glat in tog arayn
un varemen zikh bay der shtroyener shayn
verse 1 [english]:
imagine the building you build on your own
with your very own hands, out of red brick and stone
is no more than a torn old shirt you have worn
leaving you naked and stripped to the bone
verse 2 [english]:
now imagine your building, familiar and tall
how it suddenly burns and collapses and falls
and you and your hands and your shoulders and all
lie buried in the ruins of your very own wall
chorus [english]:
why just sit inside and let your sorrows linger?
let us dance a tango with entangled fingers:
a tango to the breaking of the dawn
warming our souls to the burning of straw
bridge [yiddish & english]:
vayl fun vos iz der binyen geboyt, der gebay?
fun brekelekh hofn un gloybn, ay+ay
out of what is this building constructed and made?
just crumbling pieces of hope and of faith
and what is this binyen standing upon?
this tower of steel, on foundations of straw
un af vos shteyt der binyen un halt zikh azoy?
vi an ayzerner moyer af balkns fun shtroy
chorus:
why just sit inside and let your sorrows linger?
let us dance a tango with entangled fingers:
a tango to the breaking of the dawn
warming our souls to the burning of straw
vos+zhe blaybst du epes azoy troyerik zitsn?
lomir geyn a tentsl af di finger+shpitsn
a tentsele glat in tog arayn
un varemen zikh bay der shtroyener shayn
