    a few variations on a simple drone accompaniment for a song about the lives of working women. i've sung the song better, but not with these ephemeral sounds. call it a demo?

    eyder ikh leyg mikh shlofn, darf ikh shoyn ufshteyn
    mit mayne kranke beyner tsu der arbet geyn

    [refreyn]
    tsu got vel ikh veynen mit a groys geveyn
    vos ikh bin geboyrn a neytorin tsu zayn

    kh'kum shpet tsu der arbet - s'iz vayt der veg
    shlogt men mir op far a halbe teg

    di nodlen vern tsubrokhn, fuftsn a minit
    di finger vern tsushtokhn, es rint fun zey dos blit

    ikh layd shtendik hunger, kh'hob nit vos tsu esn
    vil ikh gelt betn, heyst men mir: fargesn


    as soon as i lie down to sleep, i already have to get up
    with my aching bones, and go to work

    [chorus]
    to god i'll cry out, with a great lament
    that i was born to be a seamstress

    i get to work late - it's a long way
    they dock me for a half day's pay

    the needles break, fifteen a minute
    my fingers get stabbed, blood flows from them

    i suffer from hunger, i don't have what to eat
    if i ask for my money, they tell me: forget it.
