http://www.abvchorus.org/resources/print/Di%20Arbuzn%20lyrics%20and%20translation.pdf 

 Poem by Mendl Abarbanel (1888-1957), Soviet Yiddish poet
 Set to music by Ben Yomen (1901-1970), born in Ukraine, emigrated to US
 and taught music at Arbeter Ring shuln and Camp Kinder Ring
 Song made popular by the Pennywhistlers, an all-woman folk group led by
 ethnomusicologist Ethel Raim
 Yiddish Lyrics English translation (not singable)
S’iz der step shoyn opgeshorn, The steppes have been mowed,
S’iz der step shoyn opgeshorn, The steppes have been mowed, 
 S’iz der step shoyn opgeshorn,

 The steppes have been mowed,
 And everything has been gathered.
 My dearest, come visit me -
 I await your arrival.
 The watermelons are ripe,
 Their juice is overflowing,
 They’re full of sweetness,
 As my heart is full of love.
 And the cherries, my dearest,
 Are black like your eyes.
 The trees are loaded
 And the branches are bending.
 Come visit me, my dearest,
 And enough of this dreaming.
 My love is ripe and ready,
 Ready as my plums are!
