Mayn Hartz Iz Nor Far Daddy – Lisa Fishman
August 29, 2007/By/In/0 Comment
This is a performance of a Yiddish-ized version of the song “My Heart Belongs To Daddy” by Cole Porter, that I translated with the help of Zalmen Mlotek. The result is “Mayn Hartz Iz Nor Far Daddy”. The original song, which was described by Oscar Levant as “one of the most Yiddish tunes ever written,” inspired me to translate it into Yiddish and do it ‘Klezmer’ style.
