Come down from your throne,
do what poor people do, and --
learn something from it.
Kom van je troon af,	Steige von dem Thron,
doe wat arme mensen doen --	tu, was arme Leute tun --
en leer er iets van.	und lerne daraus.

We want each other,
but not like two birds in rut --
desiring to nest.
Wij willen elkaar,	Einander wollen,
maar niet als broedse vogels --	ohne Brunst, nicht wie Vögel --
een nest gaan bouwen.	die ein Nest bauen.
