Bei Mir Bistu Shein
"Bei Mir Bistu Shein" (Yiddish: בײַ מיר ביסטו שעהן [baɪ ˈmɪr ˈbɪstʊ ˈʃɛɪn], "To Me You're Beautiful") is a popular Yiddish song written by lyricist Jacob Jacobs and composer Sholom Secunda for a 1932 Yiddish language comedy musical, I Would If I Could (in Yiddish M'Ken Lebn Nor M'Lozt Nit, "You could live, but they don't let you"), which closed after one season at the Parkway Theatre in Brooklyn, New York City. The score for the song transcribed the Yiddish title as "Bay Mir Bistu Sheyn".
