Viel zu spät [English translation]

Sunday morning, she left me

Sunday noon, I found her at Joe (poor boy)

Sunday night, I shot him down

And now I have my revenge

But I'm not happy either

Way too late

As so often in my life

Way too late

I did regret

Why did that shot

Not just fail?

But today, today

I'm sorry for everything

Monday morning, the sheriff grabbed me

Monday noon, he locked me up (poor boy!)

Monday evening, they pleaded guilty

And Tuesday evening should be my final hour

Way too late

As so often in my life

Way too late

I did regret

Why did that shot

Not just fail?

But today, today

I'm sorry for everything

Tuesday morning I saw my mom

Tuesday noon we said goodbye (poor boy!)

Tuesday evening the bells did ring

And I knew I should this world

Not see again

Way too late

As so often in my life

Way too late

I did regret

Why did that shot

Not just fail

But today, today

I'm sorry for everything
