YELLOW TRIANGLEGELE DRIEHOEK
Black triangle, pink triangle, green triangle,
red triangle, blue triangle, lilac triangle,
And they wore the yellow triangle.
Zwarte driehoek, roze driehoek, groene driehoek,
rode driehoek, blauwe driehoek, paarse driehoek,
en ze droegen de gele driehoek.
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.
Eerst kwamen ze voor de misdadigers, ik zei niets,
Toen begonnen ze de Joden op te pakken,
Toen ze de vakbondsmensen kwamen halen sprak ik niet.
Toen ze de bijbelstudenten oppakten,
De homoseksuelen uit de weg ruimden,
En dan de immigranten en de zigeuners oppakten, sprak ik niet.
Toen ze tenslotte voor mij kwamen
Was er niemand meer over om te spreken.
