Mayn Rue Platz by Morris Rosenfeld

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.

Seek me not where myrtles grow green,
you’ll not find me there, my prize;
Where lives wither at machines,
there is my resting place.

Seek me not where birds sing,
you’ll not find me there, my prize;
I am a slave, where chains clang,
there is my resting place.

Seek me not where fountains spray,
you’ll not find me there, my prize;
Where tears flow and teeth gnash,
there is my resting place.

And if you love me with true love,
then come to me, my treasure,
and brighten my somber heart
and sweeten my resting place for me.
