OriginalVersione tedesca di Riccardo Venturi
YELLOW TRIANGLEGELBES DREIECK
  
Black triangle, pink triangle, green triangle,Gelbes Dreieck, rosa Dreieck, grünes Dreieck
red triangle, blue triangle, lilac triangle,rotes Dreieck, blaues Dreieck, fliederfarbiges Dreieck,
And they wore the yellow triangle.sie trugen ein gelbes Dreieck.
  
When first they came for the criminals, I did not speak.Als sie die Verbrecher holten, habe ich geschwiegen.
Then they began to take the Jews,Dann fangen sie an, die Juden zu holen
When they fetched the people who were members of trade unions,und als sie die Gewerkschafter holten
I did not speak.habe ich geschwiegen.
When they took the Bible students,Als sie die Theologiestudenten holten
Rounded up the homosexuals,häuften sie die Homosexuellen an
Then they gathered up the immigrants and the gypsies,und dann sperrten sie Immigranten und Zigeuner ein.
I did not speak.Ich habe geschwiegen.
Eventually they came for meAls sie mich holten,
And there was no one left to speak.gab es keiner mehr, der protestieren könnte.
