Assassine [English translation]

I must murder for my lord,

I murder well, although not gladly,

Melting away into the shadows on the wall,

No victim has ever recognized me.

The blades were always sharp and keen,

I wielded them with reason and courage,

And when a task was given out,

The hour of death has come again.

And yet I start to stall for time now,

Over the lines that I have read.

The lady I must kill today,

Makes my heart beat wild and crazed.

To me she is the greatest beauty in the world,

My heart has chosen her for me.

Those deep black eyes, hair red like fire,

And she has birthed a son of mine.

Her sorcery has been misjudged,

And she was exiled from the town,

But inside her she carried a new life,

And she would give it to me,

And so we met night after night,

Together we have sung and laughed,

We have built a new home for the two of us,

And make love until the dawn arrives.

Now I’m supposed be in charge,

The purge of witchcraft in this land.

And its first act concerns the woman,

Who showed me all those other worlds.

And so we fled through night and mist,

Running away from this dire place,

And so I fled my sense of duty,

And just chose a new life instead!

To me she is the greatest beauty in the world,

My heart has chosen her for me,

Those deep black eyes, hair red like fire,

And she has birthed a son of mine.

To me she is the greatest beauty in the world,

And only love counts,

And all that remains is my frustration,

That true love has to run away.
