(Yiddisch lied)
Als je groot bent, mijn zoon, zal je handel drijven in rozijnen en
amandelen.

Een vrouw wiegt haar kind. Ze zegt hem: "Het Joodse volk zal zich
verspreiden over de hele wereld, maar vergeet dit lied niet, evenmin als de
geestelijke rijkdom ervan. Zelfs als je rijk bent geworden, vergeet je
afkomst niet".

Thanks, Roger.  I'll listen to it later.

This is a very well-know lullabye, probably the most beloved.  Most people
think of it as a folksong, but it was written by Abraham Goldfaden (Avrom
Goldfodn, 1840-1906).  I believe Goldfaden's original version is pretty much
like the one you gave, though the transliteration you got is most peculiar.

The now popular version uses _kindele_ 'child' (diminutive) instead of
_yidele_ '(little) Jew', only the first verse tends to be sung, and the
prologue tends to be omitted too.

(inem beysamikdeš in a vinkl xeyder

(In the temple in a corner classroom
A widowed Jewess is sitting alone
Gently rocking her only baby son
And singing a song for him to go to sleep:)

By my baby boy's cradle
A snowy white little goat is standing.
The goat has gone trading (hawking) --
That's what's going to be your living --
Raisins and almonds.
Sleep, my baby boy, sleep!

Cheers!
Reinhard/Ron
