[Cz-L] To the czernowitzer

To all of interest

I do not know how many of the curent participants in this Forum are versed =
as Czernowitzer in Judisch, German
Roumanian or other languages. I for one find that in the time I lived in Cz=
ernowitz aquired a love of jidisch a knowledge of german, some roumanian and=
 some russian.
I do recollect some jewish songs that were popular at the time and my thoug=
hts are that some of the participants could recall these. I do not spring th=
ese as a suprise. I am also aware there is or was a section of the populace =
to whom these songs may not have been familiar. I also appreciate that t=
he original jewish Czernowitz populace has aged (I am 79) or diminished in n=
umbers and so have memories. If there are persons who object to my bringing =
to the fore these songs I shall abide.   

Das Stoff,das Material des Gedichts                =
The stuff,the material of poems,you know
Das saugt sich nicht aus dem Finger;             =
   one cannot suck from the finger;
Kein Gott erschafft die Welt aus nichts            =
    no god makes worlds from nothing
So wenig, wie irdische Singer                  =
              any more than earthly singer.
