Yellow Triangle
Christy Moore| Original | Versione inglese 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. | FIRST THEY CAME FOR THE COMMUNISTS First they came for the communists, I did not speak out because I was not a communist. When they came for the social democrats, I did not speak out because I was not a social democrat. When they came for the trade unionists I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. When they came for the Jews I did not speak out because I was not a Jew; And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out. |
