[Cz-L] Songs of woe.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGxty0hQXPA&feature=related

  " Stein Stein ,teierer Stein ,
   Di bist amul mein Mamenyu gewein,"
  ( Stone,dear stone, you have once been my mother)
   sings the orphan at his mothers gravestone.
     Yiddish songs of our region were tragic songs , songs of woe.
   According to our fate.
    Another gem is :" Zi bin ich fin a Stein geboiren.
                              Zi hob ich ken Mame nischt gehat ?"
  ( Am I born of a stone ,
      Have I not had a mother ?)
      The mendicant singers came in the courts for daily performances.
      We threw at them pennies packed in paper for easy recovery.
