lyrics

Brukhim habo’im in der alter velt,
Vu dibukim in yeder vinkl zenen farshtelt,
In undzere gasn, heymer, moykhes –
Nisht azoy vi haynt.
Vu mir lebn mit moyre far umratsioneyle koykhes –
Nisht azoy vi haynt –
Un far mentshn vos viln undz farnikhtn –
Nisht azoy vi haynt.
Vu ale mutshen zikh kedey a voynung tsu derloybn–
Nisht azoy vi haynt.
Vu undzer farbindung mit undzern over
Vert nebekh opgeshvakht
Tsulib der tekhnologisher revolutsye –
Azoy andersh vi haynt!

Welcome, friends, to the Old World,
Where spirits conceal themselves in every corner
Of our streets, our homes, our minds –
Not like today.
Where we live in fear of irrational forces –
Not like today -
And of people who are out to destroy us –
Not like today.
Where everyone struggles to afford a home –
Not like today.
Where our connection to our past
Is sadly being weakened
By the technological revolution –
So unlike nowadays!

One of my favourite musical discoveries in a while. These musicians are seriously talented. I can’t help imagining that there would have been a whole significant subculture of Yiddish psych rock like this in a different, kinder universe. For now, this is a window into that world that might have been. And I love every second of it. Audrey
