[00:22.296]	A fiddler on the roof?
[00:24.412]	It sounds crazy you know?
[00:27.102]	But, here in our little village of Anatevka
[00:32.536]	you might say that every one of us is a fiddler on the roof,
[00:36.533]	trying to scratch out a pleasant simple tune,
[00:39.981]	without breaking his neck.
[00:43.011]	It isn’t easy.
[00:45.388]	Well you might ask, if it is so dangerous, why do we stay up there?
[00:51.893]	We stay because Anatevka is our home.
[00:58.345]	And how do we keep our balance?
[01:00.382]	That, I can tell you in one word!
[01:05.372]	Tradition.
[01:10.283]	Tradition ~ tradition, tradition ~ tradition ~ tradition ~ tradition
[01:33.741]	Because of our traditions, we have kept our balance for many many years.
[01:38.756]	And here in Anatevka, we have traditions for everything.
[01:42.910]	How to eat, how to sleep, how to wear cloths.
[01:46.880]	For instance, we always keep our heads covered,
[01:50.877]	and we always wear a little prayer shawl.
[01:54.508]	And this shows our constant devotion to God.
[02:01.509]	You may ask, how did this tradition start?
[02:04.879]	I will tell you.
[02:06.080]	I don’t know.
[02:09.084]	But it is a tradition.
[02:10.861]	And because of our traditions, everyone here knows who he is
[02:15.824]	and what God expects him to do.
[02:22.799]	Who day and night must struggle for a living,
[02:25.698]	feed up wife and children, say his daily prayers.
[02:28.702]	And who has the right as master of the house, to have the final word at home.
[02:33.718]	The papa ~ the papa! Tradition
[02:40.405]	The papa ~ the papa~ tradition
[02:49.522]	Who must know the way to make a proper home, a quiet home, a kosher home.
[02:55.504]	Who must raise a family and run that home ,so papa’s free to read the Holy book?
[03:03.262]	The mama ~ the mama! Tradition
[03:07.834]	The mama ~ the mama tradition
[03:17.525]	At three I started Hebrew school, at ten I learnt a trade.
[03:23.246]	I hear they’ve picked a bride for me I hope she’s pretty.
[03:29.542]	The sons, the sons! Tradition
[03:35.367]	The sons, the sons! Tradition
[03:44.667]	And who does mama teach, to mend and tend and fix?
[03:50.753]	Preparing me to marry whoever papa picks.
[03:57.388]	The daughters, the daughters~ tradition
[04:03.240]	The daughters, the daughters~ tradition
[04:10.423]	<chorus>
[04:27.089]	Tradition, Tradition
[04:36.781]	And here in the circle of our little village,
[04:41.666]	we’ve always had our special times.
[04:44.461]	For instance, Yente, the matchmaker.
[04:47.726]	Avram, I have a perfect match for your son. A wonderful girl. Avram,
[04:51.644]	Who is it?
[04:53.081]	Ruchel, the shoemaker’s daughter. Ruchel，
[04:54.335]	Ruchel? but she can hardly see, she’s almost blind. Ruchel？
[04:57.522]	Tell the truth, is your son so much to look at?
[05:00.918]	The way she sees and the way he looks, it’s a perfect match!
[05:06.639]	And Nachum the begger.
[05:08.964]	Alms for the poor, alms for the poor.
[05:11.889]	Here, Reb Nachum, is one kopek
[05:14.893]	One kopek? Last week you give me two kopeks!
[05:17.976]	I had a bad week
[05:19.439]	So? If you have a bad week, why should I suffer?
[05:24.768]	And most important, our beloved rabbi,
[05:28.425]	Rabbi, may I ask you a question?
[05:32.265]	Certainly, nice sir.
[05:33.519]	Is there a proper blessing for the tsar?
[05:35.922]	A blessing for the tsar.
[05:39.631]	Of course.
[05:40.938]	May God bless and keep the tsar, far away from us!
[06:02.071]	And then, There are the others you know, a village.
[06:05.075]	And they make a much bigger circle.
[06:07.922]	His honor the constable, and his honor the priest.
[06:11.710]	And his honor the bulahbulah.
[06:14.766]	There are many, many others, but, we don’t bother them.
[06:19.076]	And so far, they don’t bother us.
[06:22.368]	And amongst ourselves.
[06:25.293]	We get along perfectly well.
[06:27.331]	A, of course, there was a time, when he sold him a horse,
[06:33.418]	but he delivered a mule.
[06:36.813]	It was not a mule.
[06:37.806]	It was a mule.
[06:38.564]	How many times do I have to tell you.
[06:40.627]	It’s all settled now, now we live together in simple peace and harmony, of course.
[06:48.072]	It was a horse.
[06:48.882]	It was a mule!
[06:51.494]	Horse! Mule! Horse! Mule!
[07:02.440]	Tradition! Tradition!
