A beautiful children’s song performed in Yiddish by Bobe Adina.
The Telephone – Mixing classical music with the melody of Soler’s song, a fox mommy is described as a very homey busy- body doing everything at home. That day however, her telephone is interrupting her non-stop and very irritatingly she must leave her chores. At the end, she hears a friend will come and visit her.
This song is part of the album “Talzi”, Cri-Cri songs and traditional songs for children in Yiddish.
