Side by side

Original language

The Master strikes

The Master strikes
or doesn’t,

whether he strikes

or doesn’t,
he strikes

De Meester slaat

De Meester slaat
of niet,

of hij slaat

of niet,
hij slaat

Husbonden slår
eller inte,

antingen han slår

eller inte,
så slår han

This is a threat:

My little girl steps into a room, any room,

The Master strikes

The Master strikes
or doesn’t,

whether he strikes
