Daniel Kahn & The Painted Bird
Yesterday Is Buried (S’iz Nito Keyn Nekhtn)
S‘iz nito keyn nekhtn, s‘nokh nito der morgen
S‘iz nokh do a bisele haynt. Shtert im nit mit zorgen
S‘iz nokh do a bisele haynt. Shtert im nit mit zorgen

Khapt arayn a shnepsl kol z‘man ir zent baym lebn
Imirtse hashem, af yener velt, vet men aykh nisht gebn
Af yener velt, vet men aykh nisht gebn

Yesterday is buried, mourn it on the morrow
Here is but ephemeral bliss, ruin it not with sorrow
So Grab yourself a bottle, while you still can swallow
You won’t cop a single drop in the world to follow
You won’t cop a single drop in the world to follow

Brothers wail and howl, let your beard be wild
That’s the way to dance away sorrow and exile
That’s the way to dance away sorrow and exile

Hulyet hulyet brider, varft mit bord un poles
Ot azoy, ot azoy tantst a yid in goles
Ot azoy, ot azoy tantst a yid in goles
