Wow! Will never thank enough the girl who introduced me to the klezmatics some 30 years ago.

I must be at least sixty of the views by now. Such a great version of such a great song.

Lovely interpretation of a terrific song. Minor point: a) The story concerns little children left alone with (presumably) their older sister Hannele (Little Hannah) while Daddy's gone off to the factory, again presumably to occupy it, and Mommy has gone looking for food. A bullet rips through the wall and Hannele decides the children would be safer in the street. The children go down and build barricades, and throw stones at the police. Major point: b) The song has recently become popular in Israel, as a way of suggesting that it's not only Palestinian children who stand up for their rights.

Do you have a full translation of the lyrics, or even just the original lyrics in Yiddish?

@@rebbecawitt581 Fathers, mothers and children Build barricades And groups of workers Walk about in the streets. At dawn, Father left home To go to the factory. He will not come back at all To the room today. The children know very well That Father will not come. He is out on the street, Carrying his gun. Mother also went out To the street to sell apples. The pots and pans Stand orphaned in the kitchen. There will be no supper, Hannaleh tells everyone, Because Mother has gone out To help Father. Suddenly: crack! A bullet Pierces the little room, Missing Hannaleh And leaving a hole in the wall. If that’s how things are, says Hannaleh, Then, children, come with me! Motye, bring the basket. Meyerke, bring the table. We’ll bring the bureau drawers And the old barrel. We’ll build barricades here In the middle of the neighborhood. The barricade stands. Nobody stays in the room. The police pass by running; Children throw stones onto the street. Supper? What supper? The cannons roar. The children of the house Help their parents. Fathers, mothers, children Build barricades And groups of workers Walk about in the streets. Tates, mames, kinderlekh Boyen barikadn, Oyf di gasn geyen arum Arbeter-otryadn.
