The Secret House does
exist, though invisible --
we hear it clearly.
Het Geheime Huis	Das Geheime Haus
bestaat, hoewel onzichtbaar --	existiert, zwar unsichtbar --
horen wij het goed.	aber gut hörbar.

Sometimes I'm gloomy,
and life seems frighteningly --
meaningless to me.
Soms ben ik somber,	Manchmal bin ich trüb,
lijkt alles beangstigend --	kommt mir alles erschreckend --
betekenisloos.	bedeutungslos vor.

Would the apple seeds
inside my belly sprout and --
start to take root there?
Zouden de pitjes	Würden die Kerne
van de appel in mijn buik --	des Apfels in meinem Bauch --
wortel gaan schieten?	jetzt Wurzeln schlagen?
