| 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. |
| My metallic voice | |
| sings along with the children -- | |
| dancing around me. | |
| Mijn metalen stem | Meine stählerne |
| zingt mee met de kinderen -- | Stimme singt mit den Kindern -- |
| in hun rondedans. | in ihrer Rundtanz. |
| The audience isn't | |
| listening to the concert -- | |
| It's background music. | |
| Er luistert niemand | Warum hört niemand |
| naar het concert, is het slechts -- | dem Konzert zu, ist es nur -- |
| achtergrondmuziek? | Hintergrundmusik? |
| I see what is gone, | |
| not what is there, so never -- | |
| we will see the same. | |
| Ik zie wat weg is, | Ich seh, was weg ist, |
| niet wat er is, zo zien wij -- | nicht, was da ist, also nie -- |
| nooit eens hetzelfde. | seh'n wir dasselbe. |

Yóu have a head, with everything: |
| Afterwards we know | |
| everything, we are silent -- | |
| are mighty silent. | |
| Na afloop weten | Am Ende wissen |
| we alles en zwijgen we -- | wir alles und schweigen wir -- |
| zwijgen we enorm. | schweigen wir enorm. |

| I too am connected to everything | |
| At home I am everywhere: | |
| I see the whole in the small | |
| I am open to everything | |
| I can pass boundaries | |
