High into the void
I sing, oh my country, if --
only I had one.
Steeds hoger zing ik	Ganz hoch ins Leere
de leegte in, ach, mijn land --	singe ich, mein Land, wenn ich --
had ik er maar een.	nur einen hätte.

Not at home. Not there,
nor here. At night I shout it --
over the rooftops.
Nergens thuis, niet daar	Nicht zu Hause, nicht dort,
en niet hier, ik roep het 's nachts --	nicht hier, ich schreie es nachts --
over de daken.	über die Dächer.

At night a man sings
in the Medina, someone --
answers, and a third.
's Avonds zingt een man	In der Medina
in de medina, iemand --	singt ein Mann, jemand macht mit --
antwoordt, en nog een.	und ein anderer.
