J'en parlerai au diable [English translation]

If they ever say I betrayed

I remain unmoved.

If they ever say I lied

I don't raise it.

For the day will come to account for my actions,

and I won't hide.

Yeah, the day will come to honour the pact,

and he alone shall hear me.

I'll let the devil know when my time comes

to sit at his table and say my truth.

I'll let the devil know, and he'll listen to

the innocent, the culprit, the man I was.

If they ever say "serves you right!"

I surely had it coming.

I won't deny that

I pushed the limits too far.

You're thrown off the track, then you regain hope,

you plough ahead in a more or less straight line.

And it's as a soloist1 that I will tell him my story,

and I will own up to what I've done.

I'll let the devil know when my time comes

to sit at his table and say my truth.

I'll let the devil know, and he'll listen to

the innocent, the culprit, the man I was.

I'll let the devil know, and he'll listen to

the innocent, the culprit, the man I was.

I'll let the devil know when my time comes

to sit at his table and say my truth.

I'll let the devil know, and he'll listen to

the innocent, the culprit, the man I was.

I'll let the devil know.
