Невеста Палача [Nevesta Palacha] [English translation]

Trying to hide his sorrow,

The executioner frowned angrily.

But the innkeeper realized —

The executioner's heart is broken.

"I'm not used

to seeing you like this, buddy!

What happened, tell me!

I swear only the devil could hurt you!"

"I believed in justice,

But now I have no place in it!

My childhood friend died!

Bride of the executioner!"

She was hiding

Her terrible torments from me.

The crowd around was shouting,

They wanted an entertainment.

Life is a game with death!

Where there is holiness, there is sin!

I beat her with a whip,

Although I thought she was the best!

"I believed in justice,

But now I have no place in it!

My childhood friend died!

Bride of the executioner!"

The word "witch" caused

Anger and cruelty in people!

She was burning at the stake,

And her soul was flying into the abyss...

"I believed in justice,

But now I have no place in it!

My childhood friend died!

Bride of the executioner!"
