Copyright[edit]

Unless this song is public domain (not clear, since it has an author but no date of writing), the lyrics ought not be published on wikipedia, since they are copyright. I am going to delete them, but note that the edit prior to mine as of today in the edit history will still contain them if there is good cause to put it back.

The author of this song is unknown, as is its orgin, its a Jewish folk song and to the best of my knowledge in the public domain. Epson291 (talk) 12:27, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A catalogue lookup shows no unique artist/composer. Epson291 (talk) 12:29, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

According to Chana Mlotek, an expert on Yiddish song, the song was first published in 1911 in Kislgof's "Lider-zamlbukh far der yidisher shul un familye" (Song anthology for the Jewish school and family.) See http://mendele.commons.yale.edu/wp/category/volume-07/volume-07-126/.

It would be nice to include the second stanza:

Yehude hot fartribn dem soyne, dem roytseakh, Un hot in beys hamikdesh gezungen "lamnatseyakh" Di shtot yerushalayim hot vider oyfgelebt, Un tsu a nayem lebn hot yederer geshtrebt.

...as well as the variant that has "atsinder" in place of "geshvinder." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jacobadler (talk • contribs) 23:05, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
