Even if it's a crown of thorns, 
we'll seize it with our hands.
حتّى لو كان تاجاً من أشواك، سنستحوذ عليه بأيدينا
Wir werden diese Krone ergreifen,
auch wenn sie voller Dornen ist.
Aunque sea una corona de espinas,
Aunque sea una corona de espinas,
Même si c’est
une couronne d’épines,
Anche se fosse una corona di spine,
Mesmo que seja uma coroa de espinhos,
vamos agarrá-la com nossas mãos.
Пусть это будет терновый венец,
но мы заполучим его самостоятельно.
