Yellow Triangle
Christy MooreOriginal | Martin Niemoeller's poem inscribed on a stone in New England... |
YELLOW TRIANGLE Black triangle, pink triangle, green triangle, red triangle, blue triangle, lilac triangle, And they wore the yellow triangle. When first they came for the criminals, I did not speak. Then they began to take the Jews, When they fetched the people who were members of trade unions, I did not speak. When they took the Bible students, Rounded up the homosexuals, Then they gathered up the immigrants and the gypsies, I did not speak. Eventually they came for me And there was no one left to speak. | YELLOW TRIANGLE (按:试译如下 起初他们冲着共产主义者, 我不是共产主义者, 我不吭声; 接着他们冲着犹太人, 我不是犹太人, 我不吭声; 此后他们冲着工会成员, 我不是工会成员, 我继续不吭声; 再后来他们冲着天主教徒, 我是新教徒, 我还是不吭声; 最后他们冲我来, 再也没剩一个吭声人。 ——马丁.尼莫拉 |
