For such a match I prayed
Mazel tov, mazel tov
In heaven it was made
Mazel tov, mazel tov
A fine, upstanding boy
A comfort and a joy
The tailor Motel Kamzoil
Stop it!
We announced it! We made a pact with the butcher.
A blessing on your house
Mazel tov, mazel tov
Imagine such a spouse
Mazel tov, mazel tov
And such a son-in-law
Like no-one ever saw
Stop them!
But he's a butcher!
Tell them!
His name is Lazar Wolf!
The tailor Motel Kam...
Sha! Sha!
Look
Who is this? Who is this?
Who comes here?
Who? Who? Who? Who?
What woman is this?
By righteous anger shaken
Could it be
- Sure - Yes, it could
- Why not? - Who could be mistaken?
It's the butcher's wife come from beyond the grave
Here she comes.
It's the butcher's dear, darling, departed wife
Fruma Sarah
Fruma Sarah! Fruma Sarah!
Aaagh!
Tevye!
What is this about your daughter marrying my husband?
Yes, her husband!
Would you do this to your friend and neighbour Fruma Sarah?
Fruma Sarah!
Have you no consideration for a woman's feelings?
Woman's feelings
Handing over my belongings to a total stranger
Total stranger
How can you allow it?
How can you let your daughter take my place?
Live in my house? Carry my keys?
And wear my clothes? Pearls?
How?
How can you allow your daughter to take her place? House?
- Pearls! Pearls - Keys! Clothes!
How?
Tevye!
Such a learned man as Tevye wouldn't let it happen
Tell me that it isn't true and then I wouldn't worry
Wouldn't worry
Say you didn't give your blessing to your daughter's marriage
Let me tell you what would follow such a fatal wedding
Sha!
If Tzeitel marries Lazar Wolf
I pity them both
She'll live with him three weeks
And when three weeks are up
I'll come to her by night
I'll take her by the throat
And this I'll give your Tzeitel
That I'll give your Tzeitel! This I'll give your Tzeitel! Ah-ha!
Ah-ha-ha!
Whoa-ha-ha!
Aaagh!
Jump!
Here's my wedding present
If she marries Lazar Wo-o-olf
Evil spirit, away!
Such an evil spirit!
May it sink back into the earth.
Such a dark and horrible dream.
And it was brought on because you went to see that butcher!
Tevye...
If my grandmother Tzeitel, may she rest in peace,
took the trouble to come from the other world to tell us about the tailor
all I can say is that it's for the best.
It couldn't possibly be any better.
- But, Golde... - Amen.
Amen.
Cu-cu-cooo!
Do you like these troublemakers?
These Christ-killers?
Of course not!
I just meant that things have been peaceful here.
I have other villages to visit, too.
If you don't want to follow orders, we shall get someone else who will.
Oh, no, no, no. No, sir.
I'll take care of it. Of course.
Quiet down! Quiet down!
Quiet down!
Is this the little girl I carried?
Is this the little boy at play?
I don't remember growing older
When did they?
When did she get to be a beauty?
When did he grow to be so tall?
Wasn't it yesterday when they were small?
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
Blossoming even as we gaze
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears
What words of wisdom can I give them?
How can I help to ease their way?
Now they must learn from one another
Day by day
They look so natural together
Just like two newlyweds should be
Is there a canopy in store for me?
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness
And tears
Mazel tov!
Quiet down!
It was beautiful. Really beautiful!
Take your places, everybody!
Quiet! Quiet down!
Quiet down!
Sha!
The newlyweds.
Friends,
we are gathered here to share in the joys of the newlyweds,
Motel and Tzeitel.
May they live together to a ripe old age.
Amen!
And now I want to say...
Ni ni ni!
Reb Nachum!
Please!
Not here!
I'd like to announce that the bride's parents are giving the couple:
A new feather bed.
Two pillows.
Goose pillows!
A Sabbath tablecloth.
And pair of candlesticks!
Quiet!
Now, we are just here on earth for a short visit.
Even the great and wealthy must die.
In fact,
if the rich could hire others to die for them,
we, the poor, would all make a nice living!
Well put!
Lazar Wolf! Talking about the rich,
there sits our good friend Lazar Wolf.
Lazar has everything in the world,
except a bride.
But Lazar has no ill feelings.
In fact, he told me he has a gift for the newlyweds that he wants to announce.
Come on. Come on!
Just like he said,
I have no ill feelings.
What's done... is done!
I am giving the newlyweds five chickens.
One for each of the first five Sabbaths of their... er
wedded life.
Reb Lazar Wolf,
you are a decent man.
On behalf of my daughter,
and her new husband,
I accept your gift.
There is a famous saying...
Reb Tevye,
I'm not marrying your daughter.
I don't have to listen to your sayings.
If you would only listen...
Why should I listen to you?! A man who breaks an agreement!
I have a right to talk!
What right? It's not your wedding!
It should have been!
It's not, thank goodness.
Just sit down.
He shamed me
in front of the whole village!
He shamed me!
Shaaa!
Rabbi, say something.
I say...
I say, let's sit down.
Yes, yes.
We all heard the words of the rabbi.
Let's sit down!
Now I'm going to sing a little song.
Mmm.
Dai-dai dai deedle deedle dai-dai
I don't want your apple. Leave me alone.
You can keep your diseased chickens!
You leave my chickens out of this!
We made a bargain!
The terms weren't settled.
- We drank on it! - It wasn't settled!
You just sit down, all right?
Once a butcher, always a butcher.
Once a liar, always a liar.
Sit down, all right?
Those happen to be my chickens...
I had a sign!
Quiet! I'm singing.
Quiet, quiet!
What's all the screaming about?
They drank on it!
An agreement!
A sign.
It's all nonsense.
Tzeitel wanted to marry Motel and not Lazar.
A young girl decides for herself?
Why not? They love each other.
- Love? - Terrible!
He's a Radical!
Musicians, play! It's a dance! Everybody, dance!
It's a wedding.
Some wedding!
Perchik!
Who will dance with me?
That's a sin!
It's no sin to dance!
- But with a girl? - Yes, with a girl!
That's what comes of entertaining a wild man.
He's not a wild man! His ideas are a bit different, but...
Perchik...
It's a sin.
It's no sin!
Ask the rabbi! Go on, ask him.
Well, rabbi?
Dancing?
Well, it's not exactly forbidden.
Well, there you see!
It's not forbidden!
And it's no sin.
Now! Who will dance with me?
Hodel!
It's only a dance, Mama.
Play!
Say something.
She's dancing with a man!
I can see that she's dancing with a man!
And I'm going to dance with my wife!
Tevye!
Mama, no.
Golde.
Golde!
Golde.
- Motel. - No, I will not.
- Tzeitel! - Motel!
You see that?!
You are responsible for that!
And I can't stand it.
I tried my best.
Everybody dance!
Come on, dance, Rabbi!
Go on!
Perchik!
All right! Enough!
I said, enough!
Come!
Orders are orders.
You understand?
Come on!
Well,
why are you all standing around?
Clean up!

Tradition
Troubles, troubles.
That's all you hear from me, right?
But who else can we simple people take our troubles to?
You know, sometimes I wonder,
who do you take your troubles to?
Oh, go away.
Anyway.
Motel and Tzeitel have been married for some time now.
They work very hard.
And
they're as poor as squirrels in winter.
But
they're so happy, they don't know how miserable they are.
Motel keeps talking about a sewing machine.
I know.
You are very busy now.
Wars, revolutions, floods, plagues,
all those little things that bring people back to you.
But... couldn't you take a second and get him his sewing machine?
Huh?
Yeah, and while you are in the neighbourhood...
As you can see, my horse's leg...
Am I bothering you too much?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
As the Good Book says...
Why should I tell you what the Good Book says?
So you must go away?
Yes.
So soon?
Yes.
Tomorrow morning.
A- a-alone?
No! With a few friends. And we will be joining others.
- Where? - In the city, Kiev.
Hodel,
there are some things I cannot tell even you.
I see.
Please don't be upset.
Why should I be upset? If you must go, you must.
I do have to leave.
So you told me.
There will be great changes in this country.
Tremendous changes.
But they can't happen by themselves.
- So you think you, personally, must... - Not only me! Many people.
Jews, Gentiles, many people hate what's going on. Don't you understand?
I understand, of course.
You want to leave.
Then
goodbye.
Hodel! Listen to me.
I have work to do.
The greatest work a man can do.
Don't you understand?
Yes, Perchik.
Hodel!
Hodel, wait!
Hodel, there's a question...
A question I... I wish to discuss with you.
Yes?
It's a political question.
What is it?
The question of
marriage.
Is this a political question?
Well, yes.
Yes, everything's political.
Like everything else,
the relationship between a man and a woman has a socioeconomic base.
Marriage must be founded on mutual beliefs.
A common attitude and philosophy towards society.
And affection?
Well, yes, of course.
That is also necessary.
Such a relationship can have positive social values.
When two people face the world with unity and solidarity...
And affection?
Yes, that is an important element!
At any rate, I
I personally am in favour of such a socioeconomic relationship.
I think
you are asking me to marry you.
Well,
in a theoretical sense,... yes.
I am.
I was hoping you were.
I am very happy, Hodel.
I'm very, very happy.
Good afternoon.
Good afternoon, Reb Tevye.
I have some bad news.
What?
- I must leave here. - When?
Tomorrow morning.
I'm sorry to hear that, Perchik. We'll all miss you.
- But I also have some good news. - Good.
- You can congratulate me. - Congratulations. What for?
We are engaged!
Engaged?
Yes, Papa, we're engaged.
Oh, no, you're not.
I know you like him
and he likes you.
But you're going away
and you're staying here.
So have a nice trip, and I hope you'll be very happy
and my answer is no.
Papa, you don't understand.
I understand, I understand.
I gave my permission to Motel and Tzeitel, so you feel you also have a right.
I'm sorry, Perchik, I like you.
But you're going away, so go in good health,
and my answer is still no.
You don't understand, Papa!
You are not listening. I said no!
Reb Tevye,
we are not asking for your permission.
Only for your blessing.
We are going to get married.
Well,
you are not asking for my permission?
But we would like your blessing, Papa.
I can't believe my own ears.
My blessing?
For what?
For going over my head?
Impossible
At least with Tzeitel and Motel
They asked me, they begged me
But now, if I like or not
You'll marry him!
What do you want from me?
Go on! Be wed!
And tear out my beard
And uncover my head
Tradition
They're not even asking permission
From the papa
What's happening to the tradition?
One little time, I pulled out a thread
And where has it led Where has it led?
Where has it led? To this!
A man tells me he's getting married!
He doesn't ask me, he tells me.
But first, he abandons you.
He's not abandoning me, Papa.
As soon as I can, I will send for her and marry her.
I love her.
He loves her.
Love...
It's a new style.
On the other hand,
our old ways were once new, weren't they?
On the other hand,
they decided without parents.
Without a matchmaker!
On the other hand,
did Adam and Eve have a matchmaker?
Oh, yes,
they did.
And it seems these two have the same matchmaker.
They're going over my head.
Unheard of! Absurd!
For this, they want to be blessed?
Unthinkable
I'll lock her up in her room
I couldn't
I should
But look at my daughter's eyes
She loves him
Tradition!
Well, children,
I've decided to give you my blessing
and my permission!
Oh, thank you, Papa!
What else could I do?
Thank you, Papa.
Thank you, Papa? Thank you, Papa?
What am I going to tell your mother?
Another dream?
Perhaps if you tell her
I am going to visit a rich uncle.
Perchik, please! I can handle my own wife!
Golde!
Gold...
Mm?
Hello, Golde.
Have some soup.
Golde,
I have something very important to tell you.
Have the soup,
it's warm.
Golde.
I've just met... er...
Perchik and Hodel.
Well?
Well...
Well, er...
Well, they seem to be very fond of each other.
So? What do you mean?
So...
So I've decided to give them my permission to become engaged.
- I'll eat later, I... - What?!
Just like that, without even asking me?
Who asks you?!
I am the father.
Who is he?!
A pauper. He has nothing, absolutely nothing.
I wouldn't say that.
Huh?
I hear... he has a rich uncle.
Hmm. A rich uncle!
Golde...
Golde, he's a good man.
I like him.
He's a little crazy, but I like him.
And er
what's more important,
Hodel likes him.
Hodel loves him.
So what can we do?
It's a new world, Golde.
A new world.
Love...
Golde...
Do you love me?
Do I what?!
Ssh!
Do you love me?
Do I love you?
Well?
With our daughters getting married
And this trouble in the town
You're upset, you're worn out
Go inside, go lie down
Maybe it's indigestion.
Ah, no, Golde, I'm asking you a question.
Do you love me?
You're a fool.
I know.
But do you love me?
Do I love you?
Well?
For 25 years, I've washed your clothes
Cooked your meals, cleaned your house
Given you children, milked your cow
After 25 years, why talk about love right now?
Golde.
The first time I met you
Was on our wedding day
- I was scared - I was shy
- I was nervous - So was I
But my father and my mother
Said we'd learn to love each other
And now I'm asking, Golde
Do you love me?
I'm your wife
I know.
But do you love me?
Do I love him?
Well?
For 25 years, I've lived with him
Fought with him
Starved with him
25 years, my bed is his
If that's not love, what is?
Then you love me?
I suppose I do.
And I suppose I love you, too
It doesn't change a thing
But even so
After 25 years
It's nice to know
Halt!
There is no authority above the will of the people.
And we are the people!
We are Russia!
The time has come,
and the time is now.
We stand here before you, not one,
but many.
Many like you.
Students, workers... striving for a better life.
And I urge you, fellow workers,
to band together with us.
Join our movement,
in the factories.
In the schools!
In the army!
The winds of freedom
are beginning to blow all over Russia.
Halt!
Sabli
vodit!
Wait!
Wait! Stand! Wait!
Good day to you, Esther.
Just a minute...
- Tzeitel! Tzeitel! - Good day, Yente.
Tzeitel! I happened to stop in the post office today,
to say hello, see what's what.
It doesn't cost anything to be friendly.
Ah, so few people are like that.
People, huh!
I tell you, if God lived on earth, people would break his windows.
So you went to the post office...
Yes, and the postman told me there was a letter for your sister Hodel.
Thanks, I'll go get it.
I got it.
It's from her intended - Perchik.
Oh, Hodel will be so happy.
She's been waiting to hear from him...
But it's open.
So it happened to be open.
You don't have to wait for the train, Papa.
You'll be late for your customers.
It's all right.
They'll just have to wait for a while.
Is he in bad trouble,
that hero of yours?
Arrested?
Convicted?
Yes. But he did nothing wrong.
He cares nothing for himself.
Everything he does is for other people.
Yes, but if he did nothing wrong, he wouldn't be in trouble.
Papa, how can you say that?
What wrongs did Joseph do?
And Abraham, and Moses?
And they had troubles.
Yes. Well...
But why won't you tell me
where he is now,
this Joseph of yours?
It is far, Papa.
Terribly far.
He is in a settlement in Siberia.
Siberia?
And he asks you to leave your father and mother
and join him in that frozen wasteland and marry him there?
No, Papa.
He did not ask me to go.
I want to go.
I don't want him to be alone.
I want to help him in his work.
Hodel...
Papa...
How can I hope to make you understand?
Why I do
What I do
Why I must travel to a distant land
Far from the home I love
Once I was happily content to be
As I was
Where I was
Close to the people who are close to me
Here in the home I love
Who could see that a man would come
Who would change the shape of my dreams?
Helpless now
I stand with him
Watching older dreams grow dim
Oh, what a melancholy choice this is
Wanting home
Wanting him
Closing my heart to every hope but his
Leaving the home I love
There where my heart has settled long ago
I must go
I must... go
Who could imagine I'd be wandering so
Far from the home I love
Yet
There with my love
I'm home
And who, my child, will there be to perform a marriage
there in the wilderness?
Papa, I promise you,
we will be married under a canopy.
Yes. Yes.
No doubt a rabbi or two were also arrested.
Papa!
God alone knows when we shall see each other again.
Then
we will leave it in his hands.
Take care of her.
See that she dresses warm.
Even though she only burned his cooking,
he is permitted to divorce her.
Just for supper.
I'm sorry, Rabbi.
Yes, of course.
What news of the outside world?
Terrible, Rabbi!
Then don't tell me.
If I want bad news, I'll read about Noah and the flood.
Tell me, Avram,
surely somewhere there are good things happening?
Can't you buy a paper that prints those things?
It's not my fault, Rabbi, I only read it.
Rabbi! Rabbi! Did you hear the news?
More bad news?
No, good news.
At Motel's and Tzeitel's, a new arrival.
A new arrival at Motel's!
We just heard the good news!
Mazel tov!
Thank you very much.
- It's a nice thing. - Yes, it is.
Very nice.
What is it?
It's a sewing machine!
You can work twice as fast.
You got it!
I got it!
- It's beautiful. - I know!
Have you tried it yet?
Look.
- Beautiful. - I know.
In less than a minute! See how close and even the stitches are.
- Beautiful. - I know.
From now on, my clothes will be perfect.
Made by machine!
No more handmade clothes!
Look, Mama! Look!
Oooh!
It's wonderful!
Mazel tov, Motel!
The rabbi! The rabbi!
Rabbi, is there a blessing for a sewing machine?
There is a blessing for everything.
Amen.
That's your new arrival? What is it? A boy or a girl?
Well put, well put.
Yankela. Yankela!
Aaah!
Why... Why isn't he asleep?
But he's wonderful! He never cries or anything.
Sha! Do you want to invite bad luck?
Aaah!
Well.
Well, Motel.
I never thought you'd amount to anything.
But look at you.
A baby and a sewing machine.
You're a person.
Look, I'll show you how it works.
Go, children.
First, you put the cloth in like this.
It's an amazing thing.
You work it with your foot and your hand.
Your father is coming.
Chava, let me talk to him. Let me tell him about us.
No. That would be the worst thing, I'm sure.
- But let me try! - No!
I'll talk to him,... I promise.
Good afternoon, sir.
Good afternoon.
It's...
It's a cold day, isn't it?
Mmm.
Well, er...
Good day, sir.
Good day, Chava.
Good day.
What were you and he talking about?
Nothing. We were just talking.
Good.
Papa!
Fyedka and I...
We've known each other for a long time...
Chaveleh.
I would be much happier
if you would remain friends from a distance.
You must not forget
who you are
and who that man is.
He has a name, Papa.
Of course. All creatures on earth have a name.
Fyedka is not a creature, Papa. Fyedka is a man!
Who says he isn't?
It's just that he's a different kind of man.
As the Good Book says,
"Each shall seek his own kind. "
In other words, a bird may love a fish,
but where would they build a home together?
The world is changing, Papa!
No!
No.
Some things do not change for us.
Some things will never change.
We don't feel that way.
We?
Fyedka and I...
We want to be married.
What? Are you out of your mind?
Don't you understand what that means, marrying outside of the faith?
- But, Papa... - No!
I said no!
Never talk about it again.
Never mention his name again.
Never see him again.
Do you understand me?
Yes, Papa.
I understand you.
You're finally here. Let's go, it's late for supper.
I want to see Motel's machine.
You'll see it another time, it's late.
Quiet, woman, before I get angry!
If I get angry, even flies daren't fly.
I'm very frightened of you
After we finish supper, I'll faint.
Golde!
I am the man in the house!
I'm the head of the family
and I want to see Motel's new machine now!
Now let's go home.
What are you doing here? What do you want?
May I see His Honour, the priest?
The Father?
Yes.
Why do you want to see him?
It's a family matter.
A personal matter.
My daughter.
Yes? What about your daughter?
Please, if I could speak with the...
If I could speak with the Reverend Father,
please?
Wait here.
Tevye!
What is it?
It's Chava.
She left home this morning
with Fyedka.
What?
I looked everywhere for her.
I even went to the priest.
He told me they were married.
Married?
Yes.
Well,
go home, Golde.
We have other children at home.
You have work to do, I have work to do.
Go home.
But Chava...
Chava is dead to us!
We'll forget her.
Go home.
Go home, Golde.
Little bird
Little Chaveleh
I don't understand what's happening today
Everything is all a blur
All I can see is a happy child
The sweet little bird you were, Chaveleh
Chaveleh
Little bird
Little Chaveleh
You were always such a pretty little thing
Everybody's favourite child
Gentle and kind and affectionate
What a sweet little bird you were, Chaveleh
Chaveleh
Papa.
Papa!
Papa, I've been looking everywhere for you.
Papa, stop!
At least listen to me!
Papa.
I beg you to accept us.
Accept them?
How can I accept them?
Can I deny everything I believe in?
On the other hand,
can I deny my own daughter?
On the other hand,
how can I turn my back on my faith,
my people?
If I try and bend that far,
I'll break.
On the other hand...
No.
There is no other hand.
No, Chava!
No!
- But, Papa! - No! No!
Papa!
No!
Papa!
Golde. Here they are!
The boys I told you about.
Wonderful boys, Golde.
From good families.
Each of them a prize, a jewel.
You couldn't do better for your girls.
I don't know, Yente.
My girls are still so young.
So what do they look like, grandfathers?
True, the marriage can wait,
but meanwhile, their future will be all signed and sealed.
Which one for which one?
What's the difference? Just pick.
They're both wonderful boys.
Yankel, the fat one,
is apprenticed to a carpenter.
I'm Yankel!
Did I ask you?
Yankel, the skinny one, is...
Mama, is Reb Tevye in the house?
He's in the barn. Is there trouble?
Stay inside, children.
What is it? What's the matter?
Tevye! Tevye! Have you seen the Constable lately?
No. Why?
There... There's some rumours in town.
We thought, since you knew him so well,
maybe he told you what is true and what is not.
Rumours?
What rumours?
Quiet!
Talk, Avram!
Someone in Zolodin said an edict in St Petersburg...
Welcome, Your Honour.
What's the good news in the world?
I see that you have company.
They are my friends.
It's just as well. What I have to say is for their ears also.
How much time do you need to sell your house and household goods?
Why should I sell my house?
Is it in anybody's way?
I came to tell you you have to leave Anatevka.
How did I come to deserve such an honour?
Not just you, of course,
but all of you.
What? What do you mean?
At first, I thought you might be spared, because of your daughter's marriage.
My daughter is dead.
I understand.
At any rate, it affects all of you, you have to leave.
But...
But this corner of the world has always been our home.
Why should we leave?
I don't know why. There's trouble in the world, troublemakers.
- Like us? - You aren't the only ones.
Your people must leave all the villages - Zolodin, Rabalevka.
The district must be emptied.
I have an order here!
It says that you must sell your homes and be out of here in three days.
And you?
You, who have known us all your life,
you'd carry out this order?
I have nothing to do with it!
Don't you understand? I wish you wouldn't say me.
I understand.
Suppose we refuse to go?
You will be forced out.
We will defend ourselves.
We'll stay in our homes.
Refuse to leave.
Keep our land. Fight!
Against our militia, our army? I wouldn't advise that.
I have some advice for you.
Get off my land.
This is still my home,
my land.
Get off my land!
You have three days.
After a lifetime,
a piece of paper, and get thee out.
We should unite with the people of Zolodin. Maybe they have a plan.
We should defend ourselves.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
Very good.
That way the whole world will be blind and toothless.
Rabbi, we've been waiting for the Messiah all our lives.
Wouldn't this be a good time for him to come?
We'll have to wait for him someplace else.
Meanwhile,
let's start packing.
Well,
Anatevka hasn't exactly been the Garden of Eden.
That's true.
After all, what have we got here?
A little bit of this
A little bit of that
A pot
A pan
A broom
A hat
Someone should have set a match to this place
Years ago
A bench
A tree
What's a house?
Or a stove?
People who pass through Anatevka
Don't even know they've been here
A stick of wood
A piece of cloth
What do we leave?
Nothing much
Only Anatevka
Anatevka
Underfed, overworked Anatevka
Where else could Sabbath be so sweet?
Anatevka
Intimate, obstinate Anatevka
Where I know everyone I meet
Soon I'll be a stranger in a strange new place
Searching for an old familiar face
From Anatevka
I belong to Anatevka
Tumbledown, workaday Anatevka
Dear little village
Little town of mine
It's just a place.
Our forefathers have been forced out of many, many places at a moment's notice.
Maybe that's why
we always wear our hats.
Golde!
Golde, darling!
I had to see you before I left,
because I have such news for you.
Remember, Golde, yesterday I told you I didn't know where to go,
what to do with these old bones.
Now I know. You want to hear? I'll tell you.
All my life, I've dreamed of going to one place.
Guess where?
Nah, you'll never guess.
Every year at Passover, what do we say?
Next year, in Jerusalem,
next year in the Holy Land.
You're going to the Holy Land?
You guessed!
Goodbye, Yente.
Be well,
and go in peace.
And so, goodbye, Golde.
Sometime, maybe we'll meet on a happier occasion.
Meanwhile, we suffer.
Oh-ho-hoh, we suffer.
We suffer in silence, right?
Of course, right.
Where are you going?
You don't know where you're going?
Come, Golde, we have to leave.
Leave... It sounds so easy.
Golde, we'll all be together soon.
Motel, Tzeitel and the baby, they'll come too, you'll see.
This Motel is a person.
And Hodel and Perchik?
When will we see them again?
Do they come visiting us from Siberia every Sabbath?
You know what she writes.
He sits in prison, she works,
but soon
he'll be set free and together they'll turn the world upside down.
She couldn't be happier
and the other children will be with us.
Not all.
All!
Come, Golde.
I have to clean up,
sweep the floor.
Sweep the floor?
I don't want to leave a dirty house.
Tevye!
Tevye,
I'm
on my way.
Where are you going?
Chicago,... in America.
Chicago, America?
We are going to New York, America.
We'll be neighbours.
My wife, Fruma Sarah, may she rest in peace, has a brother there.
That's nice.
I hate him,
but
a relative is a relative.
Goodbye, Tevye.
Goodbye, Lazar Wolf.
Well, my old friends, it's time to say goodbye.
The farmer Bushenko will be coming for you later.
He's not a bad sort.
If you are good to him, he'll be good to you.
Take care of your leg, huh?
Thanks for everything.
Chava!
Papa will see you.
I want him to. I want to say goodbye to him.
He won't listen to you.
But at least he will hear.
Maybe it would be better if I told Mama.
Chaveleh!
Papa.
Papa,
we came to say goodbye.
We are also leaving this place.
We are going to Cracow.
We cannot stay among people who can do such things to others.
We wanted you to know that.
Some are driven away by edicts,
others by silence.
Goodbye, Papa.
Mama.
Come, Chava.
Goodbye, Chava!
Fyedka.
And God be with you.
And God be with you!
We will write to you in America, if you like.
We are staying with Uncle Avram.
Yes, Mama.
"We'll be staying with Uncle Avram?"
The whole world has to know our business!
Stop yelling and finish packing!
We have a long way to go.
Golde!
I don't need your advice!
Tzeitel, don't forget the baby.
Goodbye, Papa.
Work hard, Motel,
and come to us soon.
I will, Papa.
I'll work hard.
All right, children.
Let's go.
