Translation

Under the Yellow Patch
Close your eyes
Your father is in Dachau
Sleep, my child, lu lu

IN Dachau, what is he doing?
And where is Dachau?
Your farther is a good Jew
Be a good Jew too

Sometimes the Patch is red
sometimes that Patch is yellow
A dream, child, your father
Is sitting on the doorstep

Your father is forever
Just like the eternal rest
Just like the Yellow Patch
Sleep my child

This is a Holocaust song. One that I learned in Peretz Shule at a young age. I noticed that it wasn't in your database so and I felt this song should be heard by All. I am deeply sorry for not attaching an audio clip or version of the song , I too look for one on the internet. Please learn this song and teach it to your Children. Thank You Gute Gezeilt, Un Fon Dyn Moyl Zo Got's Oyern! I translated this beautiful song. Nancy Sculnik
