To think that, even now, 
it's brighter outside than in a hole...
Selbst zu dieser Zeit ist es 
draußen heller als in einem Loch...
Y pensar que incluso ahora es más 
brillante afuera que en un agujero...
Y pensar que, incluso ahora, hay 
más luz afuera que en un agujero...
Au-delà des ténèbres,
le soleil est toujours plus resplendissant.
E pensar que, mesmo agora, lá
fora brilha mais que num buraco...
