Description

Kline heard from her mother. [Words say to overtake our younger years so they won’t escape from us. Ruth Rubin in English, she didn’t understand the 3rd line. Kline repeats it, then translates into English, “You treasured your youthful years like a father his only son. Rubin comments on the beauty of the song: “Sing it again,” and the song is repeated.. At the end, Rubin says singer’s version is more beautiful than hers, Kline says but yours has a wonderful lilt; Rubin agrees, a Ukrainian lilt.]
