I don't know yiddidsh, but I figured the meaning out
from the similarity to German. The difference between
the song and what Gary wrote is of course "weisser"
(white one) instead of "Yid".
The Google German translator threw-up so I tried a general search.
Oh, yeah, the German translator would choke on the
spelling, but if you sound the sentence out, it does sound
a lot like German, which Yiddish is based on of course.
