Just because I'm your prisoner doesn’t
give you the right to demote me!
Nur weil ich euer Gefangener bin,
habt ihr kein Recht, mich zurückzustufen.
¡No me degraden
porque sea su prisionero!
¡No me degradéis
por ser vuestro prisionero!
Faut pas me rétrograder
parce que je suis prisonnier.
Não me rebaixe só 
porque sou prisioneiro!
