The Yiddish poetry of Hirsch Glick

Yiddish poet Hirsch Glick, born on April 24, 1922, is most known for writing the lyrics to the song "Zog nit keyn mol," or 'Never Say,' while in the Vilna ghetto. It was the song that became a symbol of resistance against the Nazis' persecution of Jews during the Holocaust.

Shtil di Nakht iz oysgeshternt

#BandaSonoraOriginal

Shtil, di nacht iz oysgeschternt Un der frost hot schtark gebrent. Zi gedenkstu vi ich hob dich gelernt Halten a schpayer in di hent?

A moyd, a peltzl un a beret Un halt in hand fest a nagan. A moyd mit a sametenem ponim Hit op dem soynes karavan.

Getzilt, gechossen un getrofen Hot ir kleyninker pistoyl. An oto a fulinken mit wofen Farhalten hot zi mit eyn koyl.

Fartog, fun wald aroysgekrochen Mit schneygirlanden oyf di hor. Gemutikt fun kleyninken nitzochen Far unser nayem frayen dor !

Quiet, the night is filled with stars, And the frost burns hard. Do you remember that I taught you To hold a submachine gun in your hand?

A girl with a fur coat and a beret Holding a pistol in her hand. A girl with a velvet skin face Spies on the enemy's column.

Aim, fire, and hit Has her tiny pistol. A truck filled with weapons She has stopped with one bullet.

Before dawn, having crept out of the woods With snowflake garlands on her hair. Encouraged by a small victory For our new era of liberty!
