Murha [English translation]

A little warning to the ladies

If you appreciate your life

Stay alert

A murderer is on the loose!

(refrain:)

It was a murder, maybe completely unnecessary

and a crime which made me go insane

a thief, the best of them all

oh no, oh no

Only an accident, or did you do it on purpose?

Did you plan it, did you

take the peace I had, without knowing it?

I couldn't foresee that you would take my life

You took a piece with you that only belonged to me

Tell me what I should do now, I hope that

you will find a good use to the things you stole

I can't press charges, I don't have any proof

Did someone notice, could someone witness?

That part of my soul now hangs on your wall

Do you keep it by yourself, or will you give it back

And ruthlessly you asnwer by saying "dear" to me

At least I didn't mean to

change this post-coitus into something cold-blooded.*

I beg, I pray because I can't force you

Give back to me what you took

(refrain)

Did you plan it or don't you just know

that you can't take things without asking first?

You robbed me, and still it felt good

You stabbed my chest, digged too deep

Give me a rest, I can't take this anymore

it's not a big thing for you to do

if you bring the missing piece, make me whole

instead of draining me dry like a vampire

I'm covered with wounds but I don't bleed

I promise to myself: this was the last time

when I open my door and let close to me

from now on I save everything to myself

This was murder of first degree, so cruel

If I were you, I would be afraid when at the heaven's gates

The scales weight your heart, it's too heavy

You should have thought twice before taking it from me

Now I'm dead

(refrain)

To the ladies

who want to stay alive

The murderer is on the loose

and he can strike at the morning or the evening

Stay alert

when you are on your homestreets

Or dancing at the clubs

Remember to pay attention

Has any of you seen a beast?

I could bet

that even today he is moving along you

choosing a victim, taking her on his arms

He can sneak behind your back

Sweetly scratch your chest

He looks handsome and he kisses

drugs the girls and then stabs them

(refrain)
