A fiddler on the roof? |
| [00:24.412] |
It sounds crazy you know? |
| [00:27.102] |
But, here in our little village of Anatevka |
| [00:32.536] |
you might say that every one of us is a fiddler on the roof, |
| [00:36.533] |
trying to scratch out a pleasant simple tune, |
| [00:39.981] |
without breaking his neck. |
| [00:43.011] |
It isn’t easy. |
| [00:45.388] |
Well you might ask, if it is so dangerous, why do we stay up there? |
| [00:51.893] |
We stay because Anatevka is our home. |
| [00:58.345] |
And how do we keep our balance? |
| [01:00.382] |
That, I can tell you in one word! |
| [01:05.372] |
Tradition. |
| [01:10.283] |
Tradition ~ tradition, tradition ~ tradition ~ tradition ~ tradition |
| [01:33.741] |
Because of our traditions, we have kept our balance for many many years. |
| [01:38.756] |
And here in Anatevka, we have traditions for everything. |
| [01:42.910] |
How to eat, how to sleep, how to wear cloths. |
| [01:46.880] |
For instance, we always keep our heads covered, |
| [01:50.877] |
and we always wear a little prayer shawl. |
| [01:54.508] |
And this shows our constant devotion to God. |
| [02:01.509] |
You may ask, how did this tradition start? |
| [02:04.879] |
I will tell you. |
| [02:06.080] |
I don’t know. |
| [02:09.084] |
But it is a tradition. |
| [02:10.861] |
And because of our traditions, everyone here knows who he is |
| [02:15.824] |
and what God expects him to do. |
| [02:22.799] |
Who day and night must struggle for a living, |
| [02:25.698] |
feed up wife and children, say his daily prayers. |
| [02:28.702] |
And who has the right as master of the house, to have the final word at home. |
| [02:33.718] |
The papa ~ the papa! Tradition |
| [02:40.405] |
The papa ~ the papa~ tradition |
| [02:49.522] |
Who must know the way to make a proper home, a quiet home, a kosher home. |
| [02:55.504] |
Who must raise a family and run that home ,so papa’s free to read the Holy book? |
| [03:03.262] |
The mama ~ the mama! Tradition |
| [03:07.834] |
The mama ~ the mama tradition |
| [03:17.525] |
At three I started Hebrew school, at ten I learnt a trade. |
| [03:23.246] |
I hear they’ve picked a bride for me I hope she’s pretty. |
| [03:29.542] |
The sons, the sons! Tradition |
| [03:35.367] |
The sons, the sons! Tradition |
| [03:44.667] |
And who does mama teach, to mend and tend and fix? |

Preparing me to marry whoever papa picks. |

The daughters, the daughters~ tradition |

<chorus> |
| [04:27.089] |
Tradition, Tradition |
| [04:36.781] |
And here in the circle of our little village, |
| [04:41.666] |
we’ve always had our special times. |
| [04:44.461] |
For instance, Yente, the matchmaker. |
| [04:47.726] |
Avram, I have a perfect match for your son. A wonderful girl. Avram, |
| [04:51.644] |
Who is it? |
| [04:53.081] |
Ruchel, the shoemaker’s daughter. Ruchel， |
| [04:54.335] |
Ruchel? but she can hardly see, she’s almost blind. Ruchel？ |
| [04:57.522] |
Tell the truth, is your son so much to look at? |
| [05:00.918] |
The way she sees and the way he looks, it’s a perfect match! |
| [05:06.639] |
And Nachum the begger. |
| [05:08.964] |
Alms for the poor, alms for the poor. |
| [05:11.889] |
Here, Reb Nachum, is one kopek |
| [05:14.893] |
One kopek? Last week you give me two kopeks! |
| [05:17.976] |
I had a bad week |
| [05:19.439] |
So? If you have a bad week, why should I suffer? |
| [05:24.768] |
And most important, our beloved rabbi, |
| [05:28.425] |
Rabbi, may I ask you a question? |
| [05:32.265] |
Certainly, nice sir. |
| [05:33.519] |
Is there a proper blessing for the tsar? |
| [05:35.922] |
A blessing for the tsar. |
| [05:39.631] |
Of course. |
| [05:40.938] |
May God bless and keep the tsar, far away from us! |
| [06:02.071] |
And then, There are the others you know, a village. |
| [06:05.075] |
And they make a much bigger circle. |
| [06:07.922] |
His honor the constable, and his honor the priest. |
| [06:11.710] |
And his honor the bulahbulah. |
| [06:14.766] |
There are many, many others, but, we don’t bother them. |
| [06:19.076] |
And so far, they don’t bother us. |
| [06:22.368] |
And amongst ourselves. |
| [06:25.293] |
We get along perfectly well. |
| [06:27.331] |
A, of course, there was a time, when he sold him a horse, |
| [06:33.418] |
but he delivered a mule. |
| [06:36.813] |
It was not a mule. |
| [06:37.806] |
It was a mule. |
| [06:38.564] |
How many times do I have to tell you. |
| [06:40.627] |
It’s all settled now, now we live together in simple peace and harmony, of course. |
| [06:48.072] |
It was a horse. |
| [06:48.882] |
It was a mule! |
| [06:51.494] |
Horse! Mule! Horse! Mule! |
| [07:02.440] |
Tradition! Tradition! |
| [07:16.102] |
Without our traditions, our lives, it would be as shaky as a fiddler on the roof. |
