Di Naye Kapelye - Traktorist (Full Album)

[@GoldinDr]

Just a perfect example of what I love about KZbin. I never would have known about this album otherwise.

[@ginevskyabe220]

Given the subsequent history the socialist optimism of Traktorist is painfully touching.

amazing recordings, re bakán la música

[@richardweickelt833]

I am looking for the lyrics of the song "Traktorist". I remember that I read it somewhere some years ago, but I can no longer find it.

[@priscianusjr]

I found lyrics, but except for the first line they are completely different, though both are the same kind proletarian propaganda song; the tune is also different but with the same meter. You can find it on KZbin performed by Loren Sklamberg and Polina Shepherd.

[@eliverikt2165]

does anyone have the lyrics for this?

[@priscianusjr]

You mean the opening tune? There are no lyrics as far as I know, it's just a dance tune of a kind known as Bulgar. Originally recorded by Abe Elenkrig on Columbia in 1913 under the title "Nit bay Motyen."

There are a few bits I didn't get, but here is most of it: Bin ikh mir a traktorist, rift men mikh un Yidl Fur ikh mir dus oybn-on, zingen mir tsi a lidl In a vintl fayft mir tsi, gletn glet mayn oyer Oykh a freyd tsi [ ? ] du, a yid in davke a poyer. Aza rash der traktor makht, [ ] fun di {?] gonts gegnt, In di arbet freylekh geyt, s'iz alts far inzertsvegn, [ ] ikh fil a mul gelitn [ ] mayn traktor [ ] Flit der traktor tsvishn zangen, di brengst inz naye gezangen, Lomir shnaydn vaysn korn, azh s'iz a freyd gevoren, Ay di traktor, ay [ ] gey, shnayt di traktor tifer Helf mir [ ] gikher. Bin ikh mir a traktorist, rift men mikh un Yidl, Fur ikh mir dus oybn-on, zingen mir tsi a lidl, Ay di di didi didi didi dom, s'iz a velt a naye, Ay di di didi didi didi dom, tsi leybn a mekhaye. I am a tractor driver, they call me "Yidl", I am driving in the lead, they back me up in a little song. And a breeze whistles along with us, caressing, it caresses my ear, Also a joy to [ ] here, a Jew and no less a peasant! What a noise the tractor makes, [ [ the whole neighborhood, And the work goes happily along - it's all for our own benefit. [two more lines] The tractor is flying amidst the ears of grain, you bring us new songs, Let's cut the white grain until it becomes a joy, Oh you tractor, oh [ ] go, cut deeper, tractor, Help me [ ] faster. I am a tractor driver, they call me "Yidl", I am driving in the lead, they back me up in a little song. Ay di di didi didi didi dom, it's a new world, Ay di di didi didi didi dom, it's such a pleasure to be alive.

I definitely CANNOT find Traktorist lyrics, if anyone remotely understand Yiddish i beg you to help...

[@priscianusjr]

See above, best as I can make out.

[@amymack1954]

The link you provided for the CD gives me a 404 message, and the CD is not available through Amazon. Where can I get this CD (without paying a fortune for it)?

[@DrNanite]

Can someone tell me What language is this?

[@algi1948]

This is Yiddish, a language spoken by Jews in the countries of eastern Europe. Today it is mostly spoken only by orthodox Jews mostly in the US and Israel.

[@priscianusjr]

@@algi1948 It is Yiddish, but more specifically it's a southern Ukrainian or Bessarabian dialect.

[@lynx9704]

They actually use the phrase "Foaie verde" which means Green Leaf in Romanian.
