YouTube Link: The Fiddler on the Roof: Far from the Home I Love
Tevye and his daughter Hodel are talking.
So you are leaving your home to join that hero of yours?
But why won't you tell me where he is now, this Joseph of yours?
It is far, Papa, terribly far.
He is in a settlement in Siberia.
Siberia? And he asks you to leave your father and mother to join him in that frozen wasteland?
And marry him there?
No, Papa, he did not ask me to go, I want to go.
I don't want him to be alone.
I want to help him in his work.
