| So strange, wealth offers | |
| everything to be happy -- | |
| and yet it doesn't work. | |
| Rijkdom biedt alles | Die Reichen haben |
| voor een gelukkig leven -- | alles, um glücklich zu sein -- |
| en toch werkt dat niet. | aber sind es nicht. |

I had the most marbles kept them in a bucket in the attic Whoppers in all metallic colours and rare marble ones Nobody liked to lose from me so I just played alone A classmate had an ivory marble but ivory is forbidden, and I obey the rules, that's the best game People have no idea how it works and what they waste They say that I'm parsimonious even with the foreign cents which I cannot spend, the truth is I work hard and lead a sober life, the good example that would benefit them more than the inflation of a luxury life |
