[00:00.000]Tzeitel, you are the oldest,
[00:02.210]Yenta has to make a match for you
[00:04.380]before she can make one for me.
[00:06.670]Oh Yenta Yenta!
[00:07.700]Well, somebody has to arrange the matches,
[00:10.830]Young people can't decide these things themselves.
[00:13.910]She might bring someone wonderful----
[00:15.820]Someone interesting----
[00:16.860]And well off----
[00:17.870]And important---
[00:20.380]Matchmaker, Matchmaker,

[00:24.190]Find me a find,
[00:26.750]catch me a catch

[00:34.690]And make me a perfect match
[00:40.700]Matchmaker, Matchmaker,
[00:42.850]I'll bring the veil,
[00:44.790]You bring the groom,
[00:47.290]Slender and pale.
[00:50.200]Bring me a ring for I'm longing to be--
[00:53.720]The envy of all I see.
[00:56.890]For Papa,
[00:58.950]Make him a scholar.
[01:00.190]For mama,
[01:01.650]Make him rich as a king.
[01:03.550]For me, well,
[01:04.350]I wouldn't holler
[01:06.610]If he were as handsome as anything.
[01:11.160]Matchmaker, Matchmaker,
[01:12.470]Make me a match,
[01:14.060]Find me a find,
[01:15.760]Catch me a catch,
[01:17.460]Night after night in the dark I'm alone
[01:20.420]So find me match,
[01:22.030]Of my own.
[01:28.390]Since when are you in a match, Chava?
[01:30.910]I thought you had your eye on your books.
[01:33.850]And you have your eye on the Rabbi's son.
[01:37.220]Well, why not?
[01:38.610]We have only one Rabbi
[01:40.520]and he has only one son.
[01:42.720]Why shouldn't I want the best?
[01:44.910]Because you're a girl from a poor family.
[01:47.270]So whatever Yenta brings,
[01:48.280]you'll take, right?
[01:50.570]Of course right!
[01:53.330]Hodel, oh Hodel,
[01:54.990]Have I made a match for you!
[01:56.780]He's handsome, he's young!
[01:58.390]Alright, he's 62.
[02:00.090]But he's a nice man,a good catch,
[02:02.040]true? True.
[02:03.650]I promise you'll be happy,
[02:05.370]And even if you're not,
[02:07.070]There's more to life than that---
[02:09.190]Don't ask me what.
[02:14.120]Chava, I found him.
[02:15.880]Won't you be a lucky bride!
[02:17.530]He's handsome, he's tall,
[02:19.300]That is from side to side.
[02:20.760]But he's a nice man, a good catch,
[02:22.830]right?Right.
[02:24.490]You heard he has a temper.
[02:26.150]He'll beat you every night,
[02:27.870]But only when he's sober,
[02:29.920]So you'll alright.
[02:32.940]Did you think you'd get a prince?
[02:35.340]Well I do the best I can.
[02:38.810]With no dowry, no money,
[02:42.220]no family background
[02:45.380]Be glad you got a man!
[02:55.140]Matchmaker, Matchmaker,
[02:56.790]You know that I'm
[02:58.190]Still very young.
[03:00.100]Please, take your time.
[03:02.800]Up to this minute,
[03:04.400]I misunderstood
[03:06.860]That I could get stuck for good.
[03:10.630]Dear Yenta,
[03:12.290]See that he's gentle
[03:13.700]Remember,
[03:14.950]You were also a bride.
[03:16.710]It's not that
[03:18.240]I'm sentimental
[03:20.490]It's just that I'm terrified!
[03:24.900]Matchmaker, Matchmaker,
[03:26.240]Plan me no plans
[03:27.890]I'm in no rush
[03:29.590]Maybe I've learned
[03:31.260]Playing with matches
[03:33.260]A girl can get burned
[03:36.010]So,Bring me no ring
[03:38.420]Groom me no groom
[03:39.920]Find me no find
[03:41.390]Catch me no catch
[03:43.540]Unless he's a matchless match.
