Translation

there, not far
there. where the umshlag square is found
where cattletrucks are filled with humankind
all victims
there, where a child cries to its mother
o mother, don't leave me alone
i want to go with you together.

shush, my little one shush, my cherished one
do not tell that you are a jew.
while brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers
are being shipped all together
shipped together to be martyred
shush, my darling child. shush, my little heart
do not tell that you are a jew.

the vile police
said you must quicken your pace
you will not know from any want
receive three kilos bread
and with that bread,
they shipped you all to martyred death
there is no more homecoming

chorus

treblinka, there
that is the jewish "place of peace"
those who arrive there don't return
stay there forever
there, where a child cries to its mother
o mother don't leave me alone
i want to go with you together

chorus
