Der Verräter [English translation]

You coward! You coward! You coward! You coward!

Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! Traitor!

You coward! You coward! You coward! You coward!

Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! Traitor!

You coward! Traitor! You coward! Traitor!

You were not there when the enemy attacked us tonight.

(You coward! Traitor! You coward! Traitor!)

It's your fault, you didn't guard the city gate!

(You coward! Traitor! You coward! Traitor!)

You betrayed your oath!

(You Judas!)

Betrayed us and went into hiding!

(You rat!)

You hid behind some broads' skirt!

(You cur!)

Only in the morning you were finally caught!

But be a man now.

Start telling the truth.

Speak up like a man,

Yeah!

No, I did never betray you,

Not for silver and not for gold,

I was always loyal and I'm saying it again,

I never wanted any of this to happen.

Please believe me, it was made out of love,

She made me lose my mind,

Look me in the face, I'm not lying to you,

It's just that love made me weak.

You coward! Traitor! You coward! Traitor!

You coward! Traitor! You coward! Traitor!

You were in cahoots with our enemies for sure, just admit it!

(You coward! Traitor! You coward! Traitor!)

Everyone fought for their lives, where were you?

(Where were you? Where were you? Where were you?)

(You coward! Traitor! You coward! Traitor!)

Just a whisper and the sound of swords

(Traitor!)

Did shake our people out of their sleep,

(You rat!)

And when the arrows flew though the darkness,

(You cur!)

You hid like a coward!

But be a man now.

Start telling the truth.

Speak up like a man,

Yeah!

Yes, I did break my oath,

But I didn't do it for money,

Even though you hate me now

And will let me die,

Believe me, only love is for it to blame.

Please believe him, it was made out of love,

She made him lose his mind,

Look him in the face, he's not lying to you,

It's just that love made him weak.

You coward! You coward! You coward! You coward!

Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! Traitor!

You coward! You coward! You coward! You coward!

Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! Traitor!

You coward! Traitor! You coward! Traitor!

You coward! Traitor! You coward! Traitor!

You coward! Traitor! You coward! Traitor!

You coward! Traitor! You coward! Traitor!

What a monster you are, you lie until your very last moment,

(You coward! Traitor! You coward! Traitor!)

Just tell us the woman you did this all for, string him up!

(String him up! String him up! String him up!)

(You coward! Traitor! You coward! Traitor!)

You don't betray your brothers for a woman,

(You Judas!)

You don't sell out your people for a woman!

(You rat!)

We fell so bad for him, he did it for love, after all!

(That swine!)

No, he did it for wealth and for honor!

But now be a man,

Cough up the truth!

Don't just hang him!

Yeah!

No, I did never betray you,

Not for silver and not for gold,

I was always loyal and I'm saying it again,

I never wanted any of this to happen.

Please believe me, it was made out of love,

She made me lose my mind,

Look me in the face, I'm not lying to you,

It's just that love made me weak.

Please believe him, it was made out of love,
