Help Me [English translation]

He left September 18th

Plenty of people at Houston

First man on Jupiter

An applause roars.

His wife is in the control room

In two months her first son will be born

Everyone's confident and cheerful

She's the only one who seems to pray

Suddenly a light turns on

From the space comes in a voice

But it's faded and weak

It sounds like Mc Kenzie is calling.

"Help me, help me, help me!"

And then silence, nothing more can be heard, just

"Help me, help me, help me! Rescue me!"

And then silence, and nothing more.

They said it's a trivial malfunction

(Trivial my ass!)

But Mc Kenzie can still make it back

And in the meantime the connection's gone

(I'm here!)

Someone says "a collision occurred"

(no!)

Two years are gone since that September

There's nothing left of Mc Kenzie

(what do you mean "nothing left"?)

Just a tape that recorded

The voice of a scared man.

"Help me, help me, help me!"

And then silence, nothing more can be heard, just

"Help me, help me, help me!

What the fuck! Rescue me!"

And then silence, and nothing more.

There's the mother...

You never knew your father

He was an important man, honey

It's that man in silver

That voice you hear every now and then...

And then silence...just

"Help me, help me, help me!

Rescue me! Help me!"

And then silence, and nothing more...

Because Mc Kenzie blew up during the flight

You know, dear son

After all he wasn't even your father

Because I'm a whore!
