Tsu vos-zhe gibn dir, mayn libe kind?

Title

Tsu vos-zhe gibn dir, mayn libe kind?

Date

1955

Description

[Note from typewritten tape log in box:] These [marriage songs] are not songs of ceremonials or rites. These are songs which touch upon the marriage theme, either in jest, satirically, in dance or even in a children’s rhyme like [Tape 70] No. 3. Sometimes they bear the mark of the marriage entertainer (badkhn). [Handwritten note:] Like [Tape 70] No. 5.

The daughter sings she doesn’t want a shuster (shoemaker), or a balegole (driver), stoler (carpenter), koveling, - for various reasons (like, the stolier makht a bet [makes a bed] un git dem vay donershtik a get (on Thursday gives his wife a divorce) - but a dokter (Dr.) - yes. In 3/4 meter.

Compare song #14 on this tape: “Tsu vos-zhe gibn dir, mayn libe kind?” Very similar words, both in 3/4 meter. But #9 chorus is in major key, # 14 in minor key. #9 is humorous; #14 is much darker, and talks a lot about the various types of husbands beating their wives.

Date

1955

Description

[Note from tape log on outside of tape box for the original, spliced tape, not included on the tape log of the dupe:] My childhood in Montreal, Canada, is closely bound with my Yiddish education in a secular Jewish school. Many of these rhymes stem from that environment, as well as the one at home, where my Bessarabian-born mother, shared her own childhood memories of games and rhymes and taunts and teasers, with me. Blessed with a retentive memory...I later picked up many more from my informants. Song almost identical to #9, "Shikt der har a poyerl in vald" except the agent commanding is different. 41842

Kh’hob gevolt far mayn tokhter a shidekh

Date
