A beautiful children’s song performed in Yiddish by Bobe Adina.
Butterfly, Song from poet Beyle Schechter Gottessman; and song from Jewish Folklore, ‘ Under the little tree‘. The first describes a butterfly jumping from flower to flower and the beauty of this. The second is a song describing first boys and then girls seating under a tree and confiding little stories that the other always copies trying to outdo the first one.
This song is part of the album “Talzi”, Cri-Cri songs and traditional songs for children in Yiddish.
