The lyrics to "Come to Me" by Golem are in Yiddish and express endearing sentiments between two people. The first verse talks about how the singer will be the other person's "eygn yingele" (little boy), "zis kroynele" (sweet crown), and "zis ketzele" (sweet kitten), while the other person will be the singer's "kleyn feygele" (little bird), "vas taybele" (cute little girl), and "zis shepsele" (sweet little lamb). The second verse continues with the singer expressing their desire for the other person's lips, eyes, feet, and fingers. The third verse talks about wanting kisses, hands, and cakes from the other person.
These lyrics reflect a romantic and playful relationship between two people, with each expressing affection in different ways. The Yiddish language adds to the intimacy and nostalgia of the song, with words like "lipelekh" (lips) and "karshelekh" (cakes) having a distinct cultural connection.
Interestingly, Golem is a klezmer-inspired band based in New York that fuses traditional Yiddish music with contemporary punk and rock sounds. Their music often reflects their Jewish heritage and tackles themes like immigration and cultural identity. "Come to Me" is from their 2009 album "Citizen Boris" and features lead singer Annette Ezekiel Kogan's powerful vocals and the band's lively instrumentation. The song has been performed live at various music festivals and events around the world.
