Freedom of speech has been strangled
By Seyss-Inquart, this scoundrel,
We have taken care of the front,
Although our mouths were gagged.
We didn’t care about that crook
And stood up for the truth.
My dear NSB soul,
I don’t think you liked it,
But that wasn’t the intention either.
I suffered and still suffer so much sorrow
Due to the Krauts and the NSB.
And that’s why it’s only O.K.
If I take revenge on you
With many underwater stabs.
And if you get scared, it’s fun
For the Underwater Cabaret
