The words keep whining
in my head, they're complaining --
their imposed silence.
De woorden zeuren,	Die Worte jammern
in mijn hoofd, ze beklagen --	in meinem Kopf, beweinen --
jankend hun zwijgen.	klagend ihr Schweigen.

Betrayal lurking,
in which language you speak and --
in which one you cry.
Pas op voor verraad,	Vorsicht vor Verrat
pas op, welke taal je spreekt --	in welcher Sprache du sprichst --
in welke je huilt.	in welcher du weinst.
