Mayn Rue Plats 
Mayn Rue Plats 
Don't look for me where leaves are falling You will not find me there, mayn Schatz At the machine where lives are withered Dort is mayn Rue Plats, dort is mayn Rue Plats 
Don't look for me where bird are singing You will not find me there, mayn Schatz I am slave where chains are ringing Dort is mayn Rue Plats, dort is mayn Rue Plats 
Don't look for me where streams are playin' You will not find me there, mayn Schatz Where spririts fail and tears oft plowing Dort is mayn Rue Plats, dort is mayn Rue Plats 
So if indeed you love me truly Then come to me, mayn lieber Schatz And lift my heavy heart from sorrow Make it sweet my resting place Mach mir siess mayn Rue Plats 
Recorded by June Tabor on "Aqaba" (1989) 
part of this song is in Yiddish and the spelling might be wrong 
as I only know German, but the meaning is: mayn lieber Schatz = my darling dort is mayn Rue Plats 
= There is my resting place Mach mir siess mayn Rue Plats = Make it sweet my resting place
