Vu Is Dus Gesele Performed by The Heimann Brothers at the Forum der Joodse Organisaties Holocaust Memorial in Antwerp, Belgium — May 2026. A nostalgic Yiddish classic expressing the longing and memories of a lost world after WWII. 🎼 Composed by Shalom Secunda Lyrics and translation: Vu iz dos gesele, vu iz di shtib? איפה הסמטה, איפה הבית? Where is the little street, where is the home? Vu iz dos meydele, vemen kh’hob lib? איפה האהובה שאהבתי? Where is the girl whom I loved? Ot iz dos gesele, ot iz di shtib, הנה הסמטה, הנה הבית, Here is the little street, here is the home, Ot iz dos meydele, vemen kh’hob lib. הנה האהובה שאהבתי. Here is the girl whom I loved. ⸻ Vu iz dos taykhele, vu iz di mil? איפה הנחל, איפה הטחנה? Where is the little river, where is the mill? Vu iz dos derfele, vu iz di shil? איפה הכפר, איפה בית הכנסת? Where is the little village, where is the synagogue? Ot iz dos taykhele, ot iz di mil, הנה הנחל, הנה הטחנה, Here is the little river, here is the mill, Ot iz dos derfele, ot iz di shil. הנה הכפר, הנה בית הכנסת. Here is the little village, here is the synagogue. ⸻ Arayn in di shtiber, mayn veytog iz groys, בתוך הבתים צערי גדול, Inside the homes, my pain is great, Alts iz geblibn a kholem nor bloyz, הכול נשאר רק חלום בלבד, Everything has remained only a dream, Nishto mer dos gesele, nishto mer di shtib, הסמטה איננה עוד, גם הבית איננו, The little street is no more, the home is no more, Nishto mer dos meydele vemen kh’hob lib. גם האהובה שאהבתי איננה עוד. The girl whom I loved is no more.
