Chana Gonshor sings a song that she learned at the Medem Sanatorium in Poland as a young girl before the Second World War.

lyrics (translation by Jordan Kutzik):

The life of a Gypsy is cheerful-tra la la; The life of a Gypsy is cheerful-tra la la; You don’t have to give the Czar any tributes; Tra la la; It’s cheerful in the green forest; The Gypsy’s little song resounds; Tra la la, Tra la la; Hey, pretty girl, would you like to smoke tobacco?; Tra la la; You don’t need to buy any tobacco or a pipe -tra la la; Stick your hand in your pocket; And the tobacco will be there ready -tra la la; Hey, pretty girl, would you like to kiss boys tra la la; You can depend upon what you know; Just shlep them into the green forest and you’ll be kissing them soon enough; Tra la la, Tra la la, Tra la la
