Bei Mir Bistu Shein

"Tumbalalaika", "Tum balalaika" or "Tum balalayke" () is an American Ashkenazi Jewish popular love song in the Yiddish language. The title refers to the balalaika, a three-stringed musical instrument of Russian origin. The song was written by Abraham Ellstein for The Barry Sisters, and was published by him in 1940. Its text was loosely based on a traditional Ukrainian song, "Letiv Ptashok".
