Translation for Peter Himmelmans yiddish song
hi, i never heard of Peter Himmelman, but I saw all the comments requesting a translation so as a yiddish speaker i thought i'd try to help.Although I can't either make out all of the words for sure i figured i'd take a crack at it.(i suspect he is not fluent in yiddish and not pronouncing all the words correctly, but he's pretty good) feel free to add and correct.
"Einshluf mein kind deine eygalach,"- my little child, let your eyes sleep, "Ernemen nischt mein chayis aroys"- don't take my strength away."dort bei dein alten veigele"- there by your old baby-carriage, "dort zits duch dein mutterel un veint" there sits your mother and weeps. "Zi klugt un veint vu zi hut dich geboiren" -she laments and cries as when she gave birth to you.. "in tzuresen in nemer-nischt gemie"-in troubles and inumerable hardship. "ich hub dein futer farloiren"- I have lost your father,"bisti nur ein monat alt gevein" you were only one month old.
