Dreh, dreh, meine Drehorgel,Mein einziger Freund in meiner Not und Pein.Suche keinen Zweck, suche kein Ziel,Ein Spiel ist das Leben, ein närrisches Spiel. Schau nicht, was ich für ein Drehorgelmann bin,Mein Leben hat auch einen Inhalt und einen Sinn.Ich will dort sitzen, wo ihr jetzt sitzt,Drehe die Drehorgel im Sturm und im Wind. Gehabt einen Vater, eine Mutter genau wie ihr,Hunger und Not ohne Ende,Fort aus der Welt, geblieben bin ich alleine,Drehe ich die Drehorgel und knirsche mit den Zähnen. Groschen, verfluchte, ihr beherrscht die Welt,Der, wer sie hat, der ist heute der Held,Ich brauche euch und hasse euch zugleich,Ich muss um euch, ihr Verfluchten, auch noch betteln. Es dreht sich die Welt von Falschheit und von Laster,Der eine macht es für Luxus, der andere weil er muss.Also soll schon die Welt sein für mich und für euch,In der Not schon zu drehen, da drehen alle gleich.

I'm not sure if I ever commented on the fact that this song was recently translated to Russian, but it really was. Here is how it sounds ruclips.net/video/ZIZcoXm9pLw/видео.html
As most of jewish history, unfortunately. For those who read german, should read the book : 'Drehorgeln' by Helmut Zeraschi. About the history of the grind organ.
Actually there is very few Hebrew or Aramaic words in this tune. Blaybn gezunt ;) lyricstranslate.com/en/di-katerinke-die-drehorgel.html I think Katerinke is a Slavic word.
@@Lagolop As far as I know the word 'Katerinke' comes from the french word 'Catin'. This was a mechanical doll, barrelorganplayers used to let them 'dance' to their music. France in the 18th century. Catin comes probably from Katharina ...

When one's soul is broken, one has lost all possessions, friends and loved ones, food and shelter....some of humanity's best music (and other art forms) originated from!
You do get some points for trying! It's "Drei, Drei, katerinke mein", meaning, spin, spin my katerinke (referring to the instrument he spins in the street to gather some coins from passersby. Don't have time for entire story, but basically, the person is very sad while spinning his katerinke; calls it his only friend (chaver) in his hunger and pain (noyt und/in pahn). His conclusion is that Life is a game (shpiel), a silly game!! So true!
Ich danke denen, die diese Musik ins Netz stellen. Sie ist wunderschön.
