1) The Barry Sisters, Clara and Minnie Barry, were popular American jazz and klezmer entertainers of the 1940s to the early 1970s. Born in the Bronx, New York, they were first known as The Bagelman Sisters. They made a name for themselves as Yiddish jazz singers. When their act became more popular, they changed their stage name to The Barry Sisters. They started performing in the New York Catskills resort hotels. They eventually toured with Mickey Katz. From 1937 until the mid 1950s they performed on the New York Radio Show "Yiddish Melodies in Swing", where they would sing jazz recordings in the Yiddish language. Their recordings included popular tunes, such as "Rain Drops Keep Falling on My Head" translated into Yiddish (Trop'ns Fin Regen Oif Mein Kop). During the height of their popularity, the Barry Sisters even made appearances on the Ed Sullivan and Jack Paar shows and were one of the few American acts to tour the Soviet Union in 1959.

2) The Barry Sisters were signed to Sydney's EMI Pye label in 1959 and recorded seven singles, all of which were never released. In 1960 they were asked to perform on Johnny O'Keefe's Six O'Clock Rock where they met The Allen Brothers, consisting of Peter Allen and Chris Bell.

The two duos formed a great friendship and by the end of 1960 had recorded a single together. "No Hesitation" was released in May of 1961 and peaked at number 15 on the Sydney Top 40. Later that month, The Barry Sisters released "Fly Away Peter, Fly Away Paul", a jazzed-up version of the traditional nursery rhyme which charted in Sydney only at number 38.

When the Australian Pye label closed down in 1962, the duo was signed to Leedon Records where they released one single under the name 'Mary-Ann and Rebecca Barry'. Nevertheless, it flopped with a capital F and only 2 copies were sold, making it a mega-ultra-rare item today.

After 1962 the Barry Sisters left the public scene forever, and it is not known where they are today, or even if they are still alive, but they left behind a very small contribution to Australia's Rock'n'roll scene.

Overall Meaning

The Barry Sisters's song Rumania Rumania is a celebration of Romania as a land of joy and festivity. The song starts with the repeated chant of "Ekh! Rumania, Rumania, Rumania..." which expresses the singers' enthusiasm for the country. The lyrics describe Romania as a sweet and beautiful land where people can enjoy themselves through drinking wine and eating delicacies such as pastrami, sausage and pickles. The chorus of the song "Hay, digadi dam ..." is a playful expression of the joy and exuberance that the singers associate with Romania.

The next verse highlights the cultural differences between Romania and other places. The lyrics describe Romania as a place where people don't worry and instead drink wine until late at night. The song goes on to describe how everyone can let their hair down and have a good time in Romania. The singers express their love for Romanian food and drink, and how much they enjoy it. The chorus ends with the repeated phrase "Ay, s'iz a mekhaye, beser ken nit zayn!" which means "It's a pleasure, nothing can be better!"

“Oh! România, România, România …
Odată a existat o tara, dulce și frumoasă.
Oh! România, România, România …
Odată a existat o tara, dulce și fina.
A trăi era o plăcere;
Puteai obține tot ce-ti dorea inima ta;
O mamaliga, o pastramă, un carnatz,
Și un pahar de vin, aha …!
Ay, în România viața era atât de buna;
Nimeni nu isi facea griji;
Pretutindeni ei beau vin –
Cu o muscatura de cascaval
Hay, baraj digadi …
Ay, în România viața este atât de buna;
Nimeni nu știe de griji.
Ei beau vin, deși e târziu;
Și iau o muscatura de castravete.
Hay, baraj digadi …
Oh, ajutor, am un gând nebun!
Îmi pasă doar de branza și mamaliga
Dansez și sar până la tavan
Când mânc patlagele.
Dzing ma, Tay yidldi Tam …
E o plăcere, ce ar putea fi mai bine!
Oh, delicios este vinul românesc.
Românii beau vin
Și mânca mamalige;
Și cine isi sărută numai soția lui,
Este chiar nebun.
Zets, dzing ma, Tay yidl di Tam …
“Mântuirea poate veni din cer …”
Opriți sa sărut bucătăreasa, Khaye,

Oh-oh-oh
Oh-eh-oh
Я-я я - твой герой!
Я - твой герой!
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-eh-oh
Ты-ты ты играешь мной...
Ты играешь мной!

1 куплет
Hey, girl, hello.
Мы с тобой не виделись так давно...
Ты, наверно, меня не помнишь,
А я всё также любимый в твоём телефоне?
Но тогда отношения мы пустили вспять,
Зачем опять ты всё хочешь начать?
Может тебе нравится со мною ссориться,
Или как я о тебя никто не заботился?
Румыния - страна секса и страсти,
Но запомни, я никому не подвластен!!!
Ты будешь как дракула пить мне кровь,
Но, наверно, это и есть любовь...
Собирай вещи в дальний путь,
Будем пытаться чувства вернуть...
Ну что, жди нас Румыния,
Там будем снова ты и я...

Припев
Румыния, только ты и я.
Румыния, хоть мы не с тобой,
Но я - твой герой
Румыния, словно я не я.
Румыния, ты играешь мной,
А я тобой!

2 куплет
Проезжая города, пролетая страны,
Я искал тебя, и это странно...
Странно, что я умел любить,
А сейчас желание одному побыть!
И неважно, с кем ты и где ты,
И неважно, с кем спишь ты раздетой...
От этой любви противоядия нет,
Но не долго страдать, ведь скоро рассвет!
Послушай меня, я научился чувствовать,
Чувствовать сердцем, даже когда не бился пульс...
Я не вернулся, что бы остаться одним,
Я хотел любви, но не хотел навредить!
Зачем рядом со мною ты играешь стерву?
Ведь точно знаю, что я твой номер первый.
И ты тоже для меня важнее всех их!
Давай реви!!! Я - твой псих!!!

Припев

Oh-oh-oh
Oh-eh-oh
Я-я я - твой герой!
Я - твой герой!
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-eh-oh
Ты-ты ты не со мной...
Ты больше не со мной...

As a young boy listening to the radio on Sunday afternoon in the South Bronx I found the Barry sisters. Since my name too was Barry they resonated with me. They were atmosphere of my life. Hearing them now rekindles the kindest people I ever have known in a language filled with verve, color and passion.

Romanian Jews brought the delicatessen -- and its wonderful cuisine -- to the New World (including to Jewish immigrants from other countries.) Today some are surprised to learn that Romania was once home to one of Europe's most vivacious Jewish/Yiddish communities, and that it was largely Romanian Jews who brought fine living, Jewish style, to North America. They were kind of the French chefs of the Diaspora. That's what this song is about.

ioanpena, my granparents were from Romania and they didn't live agood life from the romanians. They worked hard side by side. If this song in yiddish sounds happy to you, you should know that the doina is a happy and beatufiul music, but the lirycs are about the happiness of the poor - a bit of wine, a bit of pastrami, a bit of bread. The part of my family that didn't emigrate before the war was killed there, and yet, I love and admire your country.

I did not remove them outright so that people who are interested can see what gave rise to the comments left in response. HOWEVER, if the are any more anti-Semitic, hateful, lying, idiotic comments posted like those of "ioan pena," I will simply remove them all. Enjoy the music without hatred.

Are they talking about gypsies cuz the artilita is a romani sound used in songs ?

Obnoxious Goblin

No. It's about Romania not gypsies.

+Adrian A It's Yiddish, Romanian style. Your persistent comment is ridiculous, as well as misspelled. No one cares if you're impressed or not.

Adrian A

mostevilbitch here is an idea... how about you do Yiddish , Yidish style ?
As for that misspell, I dont give a crap, I talk more english more german, more italian, than most of these people could ever speak my language.

“Oh! România, România, România …
Odată a existat o tara, dulce și frumoasă.
Oh! România, România, România …
Odată a existat o tara, dulce și fina.
A trăi era o plăcere;
Puteai obține tot ce-ti dorea inima ta;
O mamaliga, o pastramă, un carnatz,
Și un pahar de vin, aha …!

Ay, în România viața era atât de buna;
Nimeni nu isi facea griji;
Pretutindeni ei beau vin –
Cu o muscatura de cascaval
Hay, baraj digadi …

Ay, în România viața este atât de buna;
Nimeni nu știe de griji.
Ei beau vin, deși e târziu;
Și iau o muscatura de castravete.
Hay, baraj digadi …

Oh, ajutor, am un gând nebun!
Îmi pasă doar de branza și mamaliga
Dansez și sar până la tavan
Când mânc patlagele.
Dzing ma, Tay yidldi Tam …
E o plăcere, ce ar putea fi mai bine!
Oh, delicios este vinul românesc.

Românii beau vin
Și mânca mamalige;
Și cine isi sărută numai soția lui,
Este chiar nebun.
Zets, dzing ma, Tay yidl di Tam …

“Mântuirea poate veni din cer …”
Opriți sa sărut bucătăreasa, Khaye,
Îmbrăcat în zdrențe și zdrențe;
Ea face o budincă de Sabat.
Zets! Tay ti didl di Tam …

Wow. Romanian. You do understand that the composer of this Yiddish song - Aaron Lebedeff was a Belorussian Yiddish entertainer, right?

Eliezer Pennywhistler so what? He just posted a Romanian translation for all of us ROMANIANS who don't fully understand Yiddish, since this song is, you know, written about LIFE IN ROMANIA.
