Vi ahin zol ikh geyn? / Tell me, where can I go?

Yiddish lyrics attributed to S. Korntayer, Music  attributed to Otto Strok. Yiddish to English singable translation by Laura Rosenberg, 2026.

When you have no home where you stay,  you're hard pressed just to get through the day.

If you live all your life in the dark, your fear will leave its own kind of mark.

On all sides you'll see haters, not friends, no hope for how your life's journey ends.

Where on earth can I go? There's no answer supposed.

Where on earth can I go? When each door is firmly closed.

The world seems big enough, but I feel it close in so, 

Where's a place, one small space, with some safety and grace.

Tell me, where can I go?
