I had just arrived.
I only wanted some peace
After many wet nights on the road.
He stood right in front of me,
I couldn't control myself...
He fell in the middle of a pool of blood
And told me:
'I was this town's fool;
You have killed me...
From now on, you'll have to take my place!'
They agreed to the verdict
By absolute majority:
I couldn't even defend myself!
'You shall wander 'till your last day,
Also at night across the whole city...'
You've been chosen by everyone!'
They told me:
'You're the town fool,
You killed him...
From now on, you'll have to take his place!'
I keep going through days upon days
While enduring indignities:
Hate doesn't have any power when one's alone.
Falling into this pit
From which I won't ever be able to escape,
Makes me sing, so I can endure the pain!
'I am the town fool,
I killed him...
From now on, I'll have to take his place...'
I am the town fool,
I killed him...
I'll have to take his place
Until someone finishes me off!
Until someone finishes me off...
Until someone finishes me off...
