about

This song is adapted from Morris Rosenfeld’s poem “Mayn Rue Platz”, originally written in Yiddish. The poem commemorates victims of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire of 1911 in Manhattan, New York City- one of the deadliest industrial disasters in US history. Most of the victims were young Jewish and Italian women who had recently immigrated to New York.

lyrics

Mayn Rue Platz

Don’t look for me where myrtles green
You will not find me there, my beloved
Where lives wither at the machines
There is my resting place
Don’t look for me where myrtles green
You will not find me there

Don’t look for me where birds sing
You will not find me there, my beloved
I am a slave where chains ring
There is my resting place
Don’t look for me where birds sing
You will not find me there

Don’t look for me where fountains spray
You will not find me there, my beloved
Where tears flow and teeth gnash
There is my resting place
Don’t look for me where fountains spray
You will not find me there

If you’ll have me with certainty
So come to me, my beloved
And take the gloom from my weary heart
And make sweet my resting place
If you’ll have me with certainty
My beloved
