OriginalLa versione occitana della poesia
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.
QUAND LOS NAZIS VENGUÈRON QUÈRRE LOS COMUNISTAS

Quand los nazis venguèron quèrre los comunistas
Diguèri pas res, qu'èri pas comunista..
Quand venguèron quèrre los socialdemocratas
Diguèri pas res, qu'èri pas socialdemocrata.
Quand venguèron quèrre los sindicalistas
Diguèri pas res, qu'èri pas sindicalista.
Quand venguèron quèrre los josieus
Diguèri pas res, qu'èri pas josieu.
Puèi me venguèron quèrre
E i aviá pus degun per protestar.
