Christy Moore

Originale

Ulteriore versione neerlandese (olandese/fiamminga)

YELLOW TRIANGLE Black triangle, pink triangle, green triangle, red triangle, blue triangle, lilac triangle, And they wore the yellow triangle. When first they came for the criminals, I did not speak. Then they began to take the Jews, When they fetched the people who were members of trade unions, I did not speak. When they took the Bible students, Rounded up the homosexuals, Then they gathered up the immigrants and the gypsies, I did not speak. Eventually they came for me And there was no one left to speak.

TOEN DE NAZI'S DE COMMUNISTEN ARRESTEERDEN Toen de nazi’s de communisten arresteerden heb ik gezwegen; Ik was immers geen communist. Toen ze de sociaaldemocraten gevangen zetten heb ik gezwegen; Ik was immers geen sociaaldemocraat. Toen ze de syndicalisten kwamen halen heb ik gezwegen; Ik was immers geen syndicalist. Toen ze de Joden opsloten heb ik gezwegen; Ik was immers geen Jood. Toen ze de katholieken arresteerden heb ik gezwegen; Ik was immers geen katholiek. Toen ze mij kwamen halen was er niemand meer die nog kon protesteren.
