    and Lyrics by Mark Warshawsky.
    Oyfn Pripetchik
    (written by Mark Warshavsky)
    אױפֿן פּריפּעטשיק
    Oyfn pripetchik brent a fayerl,
    un in shtub is heys.
    Un der rebe lernt kleyne kinderlakh
    dem alef-beyz.
    Zet zhe kinderlakh,
    gedenkt zhe, tayere, vos ir lernt do.
    Zogt zhe nokh a mol un take nokh a mol:
    "Komets-alef: o!"
    Lernt kinderlakh, lernt mit freyd,
    lernt dem alef-beyz.
    Gliklekh is der Yid, wos kent die toyre
    un dos alef-beyz.
    ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
    At the fireplace
    (Yiddish Translation)
    At the fireplace a little fire burns
    And in the room it's warm.
    And the Rabbi teaches little children
    the aleph-bet
    See you children-dear,
    remember dear, what you're learning
    here.
    Say once again, and then once again,
    "Komets-alef: o!"
    Children, learn with happiness,
    learn the aleph-bet.
    Lucky is the jew who knows the Torah.
    and the aleph-bet.
    Note: At the end of the video are TWO POLISH JEWS paintings. "'Samuel Goldenburg and Schmuyle' were two Polish Jews and were originally the subjects of two separate paintings by Victor Hartman. Mussorgorsky combined the essence of the two paintings into one movement, perhaps to emphasize a rich man/poor man contrast. Samuel Goldenburg, probably large, well dressed and rich, is represented by the first tune in the movement. Schmuyle on the other hand is represented by a piercing, troubled-sounding melody, making him 'appear' to be thin and poor." MUSSOGORSKY : PICTURES AT
    AN EXHIBITION.
    Mark Warshavsky
    Mark Markovich Warshavsky -- folk poet, was born in Zhitomir ca. 1845*, died in Kiev in 1907. He graduated from the Kiev University and practiced law in Kiev. In spare time Warshavsky liked to compose and sing Yiddish songs. He wrote lyrics and music for these songs simultaneously. Assuming that his songs have no artistic value, Warshavsky did not record them. Later, following Sholom Aleychem's advice, Warshavsky published his first 25-song collection "Judische Volkslieder" with Sholom Aleychem's enthusiastic preface. Music to these songs was published shortly thereafter. Warshavsky's book was a great success, many of his songs became very popular and were regarded as folk songs (for example, "Der Alef-Beis", "A Brif fun Amerike", "Der Zeide mit der Babe"). Warshavsky's songs ingenuously and emotionally embody the motifs of Jewish folk poetry, whose spirit the author grasped so precisely. Warshavsky's work is inseparably linked with the life of his people, with all their sufferings and joys. People's tears ("Tsum badekens der Kale"), and sadness ("A Yidish Lid fun Ruminien"), pogroms ("Peisach"), poverty ("Neben Klaisel"), and immigration ("A Brif fun Amerike", "Di shif") find a response in Warshavsky's songs. But these sad motifs are alleviated by the presence of special spiritual courage. Jewish hero of Warshavsky's songs is an optimist. Suffering could not restrain their deep believe in better future, suppress theirs joyous sense of life: "Suffer and sing". Warshavsky's songs are warmed by touching love to the "Yidishe Gas" (Jewish Street) with its simple way of life. Stuffy cheder, where Jewish children study AlefBeis, Jewish wedding rituals ("Tsum badekens"), family anniversaries ("Der Zeide mit der Babe") - all this cherished and familiar to the author. The language of the songs is simple and open-hearted. It is an authentic dialect spoken in Volyn. The metre of the verses is not always sustained, form is quite diverse, poem's structure and rhyme is folk and gentle. Melodies are graceful, intimate and in full harmony with the text. Sincere melody of the "A Brif fun Amerike" makes especially strong expression. Many Warshavsky's poems remain unpublished.
    * in 1840, 1845, or 1848 according to different sources.

    Yiddish is not a dying language. It is my second language that I speak fluently with my boyfriend and his family. This was the first song I learned in Yiddish when I started Hebrew school at age 15 - after my conversion to Judaism. A very beautiful sog, rebbe had us sing it every morning and changing the letter each day from 'komets alef o' to 'pashkeh alef' ect.

    This is one of the most famous yiddish songs.
    It was sung all over Europe as a llulaby. This
    song recalls the tragedy of the holocaust. It
    was included in the film Schindler's List.
    This song is also nostalgic to many, since it
    recalls their childhood and their loved ones.

      If you're wondering the song is about an older person teaching children the Yiddish alphabet and he/she (doesn't specify) tells them that when they're older they will understand the sadness and suffering that is embedded into the Jewish soul and on their shoulders they carry that multigenerational burden of exile. They may grow tired but can gain strength through these letters (of the alphabet). There's a Yiddish saying "The history of the Jews is written in tears" this is what this song is about
      It's a depressing song honestly and the fact that it's traditionally a lullaby is strange but a lot of kid's lullabies in many languages are quite sad

      @Laziness4 The murders began 13 July 1942 and conti9nued for 48 hours. Afterward, some crawled from the ditches and escaped to be partisans. Others fled deep into the woods and joined Jewish and gentile partisan groups. 7000 wereto be murdered in Nov. after laboring for the occupiers. 15,000 were shipped to death camps. Only a coupple of thousand fled before the Nazi armies came. The Yedlins, my close friends, were wealthy, well-educated and owned a large mill, but they fled as the last aboard the last lorry heading East. They lived in USSR until the war ended. Some stayed in Paris and Montreal, a few went to Palestine. The ones I knew became educators in Canada. There are scores of superb, pristine phots of families from 1895 to post-WW2 online! I have a brief video of Rovno's 25-26,000 Jews, focussing on the Yedlin family.
      See, e.g., www.jewishgen.org/databases/Holocaust/0217_Rovno_victims.html#:~:text=Rovno%20%28Polish%3A%20R%C3%B3wne%2C%20Yiddish%3A%20%D7%A8%D7%90%D6%B8%D7%B0%D7%A0%D7%A2%29%20was%20the%20largest,fell%20to%20the%20Germans%20in%20June%20of%201941. OIr Google "Rovno". It is now Rivne, Ukraine, much Jewishness destroyed by the Germans, some by Poles, the rest by USSR. The grand synagogue stands, stripped of even its flooring by the neighbors. It is a huge gymnasium complex, painted yellow. A small yeshiva is now Chabad! The 2 gymnasiums stand. The Jewish memorial remains but is often defaced heavily. The cemeteries stand unkempt.
      I live in Edmonton, Alberta: call for more. I can send my video. It breaks my heart. You might contact Deborah Yedlin, Chancellor of U. of Calgaryor Dr. M. Yedlin, ENgineering Professor at Univ. of British Columbia for more on Yedlin. My late colleague was their mother, who spoke/read German, Polish, Hebrew, French, Ukrainian, Russian, Italian, and English - but detested knowing Yiddish! I loved knowing her.

      I'm taking a free course about Teaching the Holocaust and one of the most frightening things is that the (supposedly non Nazi) locals in different countries went on killing Jews even AFTER the liberation by the Allies in WW2. Poland had many of such barbaric incidents, but it was not the only country in which they happened, sigh.

      Coincidentally, 3 years ago this was sung to my dying mother by an orthodox man and his young son who lived next door to my mother. When my mother would go to their apartment for dinner all three would sing this song. I left my mom's bedroom after they finished singing and went into her living room where ten people were sitting; tears were streaming down every person's face including mine.
