about

Music and lyrics: Traditional
English lyrics: Hal Aqua

lyrics

Fin papir, vel’n mir, boyen boyen, oy, a brik
Katsh’n zikh, katsh’n zich, in indzer land tsurik (2x)

Vus vet zayn, vus vet zayn, az mashiakh vet kimen tsi geyn
Yie bye bye bye, yie bye bye bye, yie bye bye ba bye

From paper, from paper, we will, we will build a bridge
And we’ll roll, and we’ll roll along back to the land.

This is a time of trials and tribulation
the yetzer hara, the evil inclination, taking
root in our hearts, tearing apart the fabric of our lives

History repeats itself through the generations
Over and over in so many iterations
We think we’re changing but we’re sliding into tribalism
Condoning violence and slipping into nihilism

“The arc of history bends toward justice”
I wanna believe it but you gotta have trust in
your fellow human being, that’s not what I’m seeing
I see a shadow creeping across the land

A shadow spreading like a stubborn infection
Bringing us all to this intersection
of darkness and light, of fight or flight,
of what’s wrong and what’s right
