– Toda samo Hudič se je odzval, ker Boga ni bilo
And right then he knew what it was to be empty and cold
– In prav takrat je vedel, kaj je prazno in hladno
And so he jumped off the roof and died with no soul
– In tako je skočil s strehe in umrl brez duše
They say death takes you to a better place, but I doubt it
– Pravijo, da te smrt popelje na boljše mesto, vendar dvomim
After that, they killed his mother, and never spoke about it
– Po tem so ubili njegovo mamo in o tem nikoli niso govorili
And listen, ’cause the story that I’m tellin’ is true
– In poslušaj, ker je zgodba, ki jo pripovedujem, resnična
