00:00–02:27
A text or song about the Yiddish mother (the Jewish mother) is recited or sung, in praise of her love, her care for her child, and the grief when she is lost. A second voice joins in around the one-minute mark, and the piece ends at the close of the file. The recognizer's output is partly garbled, so the exact form of the text is unclear.
