lyrics

S’brent! Briderlekh, s’brent!
Oy, undzer orem shtetl nebekh brent!
Un ir shteyt un kukt azoy zikh,
Mit farleygte hent,
Un ir shteyt un kukt azoy zikh -
Vi undzer shtetl brent!

(Translation of part of verse and chorus of the Yiddish song, written in 1938 by Mordechai Gebirtig (1877-1942), as a response to a pogrom in the Polish town of Przytyk. This song proved to be prophetic of the Holocaust. Gebirtig was shot by the Germans on June 4, 1942).

It burns! Brothers, it burns!
Our poor shtetl pitifully burns!
And you stand there looking on,
Hands folded, palms upturned,
And you stand there looking on –
As our shtetl burns!
