Shmerke Katsherginski [Shmerke Kaczerginski] / שמערקע קאַטשערגינסקי| Ulteriore versione inglese, non cantabile, ugualmente ripresa... | |
| SPRINGTIME I walk through the Ghetto alone and forsaken, There's no-one to care for me now. And how can you live when your love has been taken, Will somebody please show me how? I know that it's springtime, and birdsong, and sunshine, All nature seems happy and free, But loocked in the Ghetto I stand like a beggar, I beg for some sunshine for me. Springtime, what good is springtime, What good is sunshine, when he is away? Springtime, you shine upon my sorrow, but still tomorrow Is as bleak as today. The house that we lived in is now barricaded, The windows are broken and bare. The sun is so fierce that the flowers have faded, They wilt in the wintery air. Each morning, each evening I have to walk past it, Hiding my eyes from the sight The place where you loved me the place where you kissed me, The place where you held me so tight. Springtime, what good is springtime, What good is sunshine, when he is away? Springtime, you shine upon my sorrow, but still tomorrow Is as bleak as today. How thoughtful, how kind of the heavenly powers To send spring so early this year. Why thank you for coming, I see you brought flowers You want me to welcome you here? They say that the Ghetto is golden and glowing But sunlight and tears make me blind. You see, my beloved, how soon they start flowing I can't get you out of my mind. Springtime, what good is springtime, What good is sunshine, when he is away? Springtime, you shine upon my sorrow, but still tomorrow Is as bleak as today. | SPRINGTIME I wander through the ghetto From lane to lane Useless, no solace I find. My beloved is gone How can I go on? Someone, oh say just a word! My house is aglow now The sky's like a blue dome But what is there left in my life? I stand like a beggar At each of these doorways And beg for a little bit of sun Springtime, please take my sorrow And bring my loved one, My dear one back to me. Springtime, upon your wings of blue Take my heart with you And bring love back to me I go to my work And pass by our small house In sadness, the door is closed tight The days is full of sunlight But flowers won't bloom now, They're wilting, for them too it's night At night when returning The sadness is burning Right here love, you waited for me Right here in the shadows I still hear your footsteps You kissed me so passionately Springtime, please take my sorrow And bring my loved one, My dear one back to me. Springtime, upon your wings of blue Take my heart with you And bring love back to me Springtime, please take my sorrow And bring my loved one, My dear one back to me. Springtime, upon your wings of blue Take my heart with you And bring love back to me Springitme is with us This year very early My longing for you is in bloom. I see you before me Adorned with spring flowers Smiling, you will greet me soon The sun's rays have lit up The garden with sunlight, Turning the hard earth to geen. My dearest, my loved one Are you gone forever? I can't get you out of my mind. Springtime, please take my sorrow And bring my loved one, My dear one back to me. Springtime, upon your wings of blue Take my heart with you And bring love back to me |
