The words for “Mayn Rue Platz” were written by Morris Rosenfeld. Though written before, it became associated with the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. Morris Rosenfeld worked for the Triangle Shirtwaist company at one point.
Don’t look for me where leaves are springing
You will not find me there, mayn shatz
At the machines, where lives are withered
Dortn is mayn rue platz
Don’t look for me where birds are singing
You will not find me there, mayn shatz
I am a slave, where chains are ringing
Dortn is mayn rue platz
(Mandarin verse, by Yen-Liang Tung & Lan Tung)
The spring is here
Flowers are blooming, birds are singing
And grass is greening
You have gone away. Wherе can I find you?
Tears have dried and thе youthful days are gone
At the dark corner, the resting place
So if indeed you love me truly
Come to me, mayn liebe shatz
Lift my heavy heart from sorrow
Make it sweet, mayn rue platz
