Rabbit, rabbit! Happy May Day!
I missed both when the Dora Wasserman Yiddish Theatre in Montreal staged A Bintl Brief in 2018 and then again in 2020 when they shared the video of two songs from that production, the Yiddish translations of "Ballad of the Triangle Fire/Bread and Roses." I always forget that the current tune for the latter was written by Mimi Fariña. She made it sound like it could go back to 1911.
,ס'װעט פֿון אונדז קײן שװײס ניט רינען
.פֿון געבורט ביז ענדע לעבן
,הערצער הונגערן, אױך קערפּער
.גיט אונדז ברױט, און גיט אונדז בלומען
Autolycus is celebrating the holiday by doing his best to sabo-tabby our ability to eat in peace.
