A beautiful girl
calls the gods upon herself --
is the doublethink.
Een mooi meisje roept	Ein schönes Mädchen
de goden over zich af --	erweckt die Lust der Götter --
is de dubbeldenk.	ist das Doppeldenk.

That birds grow in eggs:
would you ever have come up --
with something so strange?

kunnen bedenken?	bedenken können?

He rips up my dress,
my skin turns into hard bark --
my blood into sap.
Hij scheurt mijn kleren,	Er zerreißt mein Kleid,
mijn huid verhardt zich tot schors --	mein Blut wird zu blassem Saft --
mijn bloed wordt bleek sap.	meine Haut Rinde.
