Raisins and Almonds

"Raisins and Almonds" ( _yi. ראָזשינקעס מיט מאַנדלען, "Rozhinkes mit Mandlen") is a Jewish lullaby by Abraham Goldfaden, so well known that it has assumed the status of a folk song. It has been recorded as both a vocal and instrumental by many artists over the years, including Itzhak Perlman and Benita Valente. It is a common lullaby among European Jews, (achcanazics). This song has multiple translations, and multiple versions which have slight changes in both Yiddish and English lyrics.
