This is the first song I have heard by Zarah Leander and sounds great! Great artists can transcend language with voice and music!

Zarah Leander (1907 - 1981) was the star in Nai Germany, between 1933 and 1943, when Zarah Leander returned to Sweden. I live in Brazil.

[@jackreacher5667]

Yes it was, When Joseph Goebbels heard it, archly he is said to have remarked to Zarah isn't Sarah a Jewish name, upon hearing this Miss Leander is said to have replied Yes it Is , and isn't Joseph one to.

Коли Геббельс запитав Цару Леандер: А хіба Сара не єврейське ім'я? Вона відповіла: Може бути, а як щодо імені Йозеф (Йосиф)? Гебель не знайшовся що відповісти. Прикро що після 1943 у Швеції Сара Леандер вже не мала такого успіху як у Німеччині. Але дожила аж 1981 року.... Померла від інсульту, наступного дня після великого концерту. RIP.

[@ibkrogsgaard977]

It is a beautiful Jewish song. My neighbor once played it to me in Yiddish, which was the original language it was written in. Does anyone know if there is a Danish version? Regards to God's chosen people, the Jewish people, from Denmark. We love you.

[@asch7906]

I guess there's a reason it was recorded in Sweden and not in Germany, back then.

[@murrayaronson3753]

I don't know if there's a Danish version, but I bet there is. Why don't you contact the Jewish community of Copenhagen, probably someone there will know.

[@murrayaronson3753]

If you are a friend of the Jewish people, you can let your member of the Folketing know that you do not support the proposed ban on male circumcision. If such a measure goes through it would create great difficulty for Jews wanting to practice their religion. If you feel positively about Jews, then please do this.

[@shevaleigh]

Does anyone know where I can find the lyrics to this? When I google the song, I can only find the Andrews Sisters version :(

[@harryfishback8173]

It was originally in Yiddish but has been sung in both German and Swedish so good luck

[@jarabaa]

@bimhimbim True, Yiddish is DERIVED from a medieval dialect of German. But today, as in Sholom Secunda's day, Yiddish is a language in its own right, with its own grammar and vocabulary (which does not include "schön") and its own dialects, and it's still written in the Hebrew alphabet. ... "WAS spoken by Ashkenazic Jews"...? I live in a community of 15,000 Yiddish-speakers in Stamford Hill in London. I hear it every day. The current 2011 census form here in Britain is available in Yiddish!

@cloreal Vielleicht ist "Durchhaltefilm" nicht ganz korrekt, denn ihr letzten UfA-Film wurde 1942 fertiggestellt und da war die Notwenigkeit zum Durcvhhalten noch nicht so klar absehbar, aber schau dir makl den wikli-Artikel über "Die große Liebe an". Also wenn sie sich den selbst ausgesucht hat ... Und das hammer gern, andere "ungebildeten Schwachkopf" zu nennen, aber die Anspielung mit dem Ahnenpass voll zu verpeilen - das Lied, verstehst, nicht Zarah.

[@kakaduty]

Genau. Schöne Grüße :-)

[@hebneh]

I wondered how this song could have been recorded in Germany in the late 1930s (as I assumed) since it was originally written in Yiddish, which is the language spoken by European Jews. Germany was thoroughly under Nazi control by that time, and thus this song would have been prohibited from being performed or recorded. Reading that this was recorded in Swedish and released in Sweden is the explanation.

[@Rollich1]

Thanks for posting. Is she singing in Swedish? It's not Yiddish.

[@ehec74]

Zarah Leander hatte eine der aussergewöhnlichsten Stimmen auf der ganzen Welt. Danke Zarah Leander!

[@jarabaa]

The original song was in Yiddish, written by Sholom Secunda, and pronounced "Bei mir bist du shayn", meaning "I like you" or "you're great". Leander sings a Swedish translation of the verses, but the one-line refrain has been turned into German: "Bei mir bist du schön" - not a known phrase in standard German, though it's understandable. Presumably the song was Germanised to erase its Yiddish/Jewish origin and because "schön" rhymes with some Swedish words in the verses (e.g. bön).

somebody asked about her very precise pronunciation, especially the r. she was trained in the classical theatre and cabaret tradition in sweden where it vas very important to deliver a text with the right r- and sch-sounds.Before germany she sung in the legendary Karl Gerhard-cabarets. His texts were very sharp,witty and intellectual and had to be understood by the public. They also were political and so anti-nazi that he got into trouble with the german embassy in stockholm.

[@bimhimbim]

@jarabaa In German dialects or sociolects usually are not written down. A German jew would write "schön" but still they would pronounce it more like scheyn. Yiddish is closer to German than most rural dialects or e.g. low saxon. Of course you can also try to transcribe your dialect in a phonetic way. It is also fairly normal that a dialect/language totally shifts meaning when translated into a standardized scripture.

[@SiggiNebel]

@LittleImpaler Yiddish has adopted many words from those languages (most Hebrew/Aramaic, less Slawic, little others) , but its base is medievial southwestern German. The Grammar and most of the "simple" words clearly show these roots and that's why it's a Germanic language.

[@sarahmd5513]

Zarah könnte mir das Telefonbuch vorsingen und ich würd‘s lieben

[@SiggiNebel]

@bimhimbim I don't think there are many Jews in Germany today, who actually would prounounce it "scheyn" (~shayen). In the whole 20th century only Jews that more or less recently had immigrated from the east would have done so. But "schee" or "scheen" (~shay/n) is quite common in certain German, and not only rural, dialects.
