proverb

but put yourself in my place but
it’s just that put yourself in my place is
what I am saying is put yourself in my
place do you find it fair that
he doesn’t put himself in my place and
he asks only that I
make the effort to put myself
in his place without bothering to
even put himself in my
place and ask and ask and ask
only that everyone put themselves in his place
god bless, what a mess he who
was white although he was Catalan
.

spreekwoord

maar verplaats je eens in mij maar
dus verplaats je eens in mij dus
dat is wat ik zeg verplaats je eens
in mij vind je het fair dat hij
zich niet in mij verplaatst maar
wel van mij verlangt dat ik
mijn best doe me te verplaatsen
in hem zonder dat hij zelf ook maar
de moeite neemt zich te verplaatsen
in mij en maar eisen eisen eisen
dat ze zich in hem verplaatsen
mijn god wat een gedoe was ik maar
een blanke desnoods Catalaan
.

paremia

pero ponte en mi lugar pero
es que ponte en mi lugar es
lo que te digo ponte en mi
lugar encuentras justo que
no se ponga en mi lugar y
me pida a mi solamente que
haga el esfuerzo de ponerme
en su lugar sin molestarse
siquiera en ponerse en mi
lugar y pedir y pedir y pedir
que sólo se pongan en su lugar
dios mío que lío quien fuera
blanco aunque fuese catalán
