lyrics

Nit zukh mikh vu di mirtn grinen,
Gefinst mikh dortn nit, mayn shats.
Vu lebns velkn bay mashinen --
Dortn iz mayn rue plats.

Nit zukh mikh vu di feygl zingen,
Gefinst mikh dortn nit, mayn shats.
A shklaf bin ikh, vu keytn klingen --
Dortn iz mayn rue plats.

Nit zukh mikh vu fontanen shpritsn,
Gefinst mikh dortn nit, mayn shats.
Vu trern rinen, tseyner kritsn--
Dortn iz mayn rue plats.

Un libstu mikh mit varer libe,
To kum tsu mir, mayn guter shats.
Un hayter oyf mayn harts, dos tribe,
Un makh mir zis mayn rue plats.

---

Don't look for me where myrtles grow,
You will not find me there, my love.
Where lives wither at machines --
That is my resting place.

Don't look for me where birds sing,
You will not find me there, my love.
I am a slave, and where chains ring --
That is my resting place.

Not where fountains splash,
You will not find me there, my love.
But where tears flow and teeth gnash --
That is my resting place.

And if you love me truly,
Come lighten my heart
and sweeten my resting place.
