original broadway cast of fiddler on the roof - anatevka lyrics

Loading...

[man 1, spoken]
after a lifetime, a piece of paper, an edict from the authorities, and we must all leave our homes.

[mendel, spoken]
rabbi, we’ve been waiting for the messiah all our lives. wouldn’t this be a good time for him to come?

[rabbi, spoken]
we’ll have to wait for him someplace else. meanwhile, let’s start packing.

[yente, spoken]
well, anatevka hasn’t exactly been the garden of eden.

[avram, spoken]
that’s true.

[golde, spoken]
after all, what have we got here?

(sung)
a littlе bit of this
a little bit of that

[yente]
a pot

[lazar]
a pan
[mendel]
a broom

[avram]
a hat

[tevye, spoken]
someone should havе set a match to this place years ago.

[mendel]
a bench

[avram]
a tree

[golde]
so what’s a stove?

[lazar]
or a house?

[mendel, spoken]
people who pass through anatevka don’t even know they’ve been here.

[golde]
a stick of wood
[yente]
a piece of cloth

[all]
what do we leave?
nothing much
only anatevka

anatevka, anatevka
underfed, overworked anatevka
where else could sabbath be so sweet?
anatevka, anatevka
intimate, obstinate anatevka
where i know everyone i meet

soon i’ll be a stranger in a strange new place
searching for an old familiar face
from anatevka

i belong in anatevka
tumble+down, work+a+day anatevka
dear little village, little town of mine
