History / Memoirs of a partisan | | Hebrew term or phrase: ״אומיירו יא, אומיירן יא״ | This seems to be the name of a song
Wider context --
אחר־כך שרתי את השיר ״אומיירו יא, אומיירן יא״
כאשר אמות יקברוני, אך איש לא יידע איפה נמצא קברי, רק בביקר אביבי
תבוא ציפור ותשיר שיר, וכאשר תעזוב הציפור, שוב אשאר לבדי בקברי |

| | English translation:When I die, I die | Explanation:
"When I die, I die.
They will bury me, but nobody will know
Where my small grave will be.
Nobody will know
And nobody will visit it
Only in early spring
A nightingale will sing [over my grave].
"Origins of the Gulag: the Soviet Prison Camp System 1917-1934" by Michael Jakobson.

The Russian text:
Ох, умру я, умру я, похоронят меня,
И никто не узнает, где могилка моя.
И никто не узнает, и никто не придет,
Только раннею весною соловей пропоет.
Пропоет и просвищет и опять улетит,
А моя скромна могилка одиноко стоит.

However the excerpt from Jackobson's books is the only translation into English I can find. |
