Composed in 1935 by a Polish musician, Mieczysław Mierzejewski to the lyrics by Emanuel Schlechter is, in the Milieu of Jewish-Argentine musicians, regarded as a Folk Lid "Ij hob tzajt, ij vel vartn".
I think it is time to straighten and adjust things. Before version in Yiddish - Polish original recorded by Stefan Witas, tenor and Polish Odeon Orchestra conducted by Jerzy Gert.
Tango "Ja mam czas, ja poczekam" (I have time, I still can wait) was sung and recorded by many Polish pre-war singers; the photos of them appear in the video in the following order: Stefan Witas, Tadeusz Faliszewski, Mieczysław Fogg and Eugeniusz Bodo.
Sound and all visuals - from the personal collection of JP.
The record must have been played in the past by a steel needle many times, YET, in order to maintain all possible features and natural shape of the sound of the record, re-recording from the original 78rpm was made by means of the Shure78rpm Mono cartridge without any modification, correction or "mastering".
