The town is burning
Lyrics and music: Mordechai Gvirtig



Written in 1938
Brothers in the burning town
Our whole town is burning
The black winds will rage
The flames of destruction will burn
No traces of it will remain
It is burning down
And you are standing idle
Without helping
Without putting out the burning flame
The fire of the town
Brothers the fire, the burning!
The help is only in your hands
Quickly stretch out a loving hand
And save from death
With your blood extinguish the flame
Quickly extinguish the blood
Do not stand at a distance
Because the fire is rising
Do not stand idle
It is a big fire
