Das Gerücht [English translation]

A rope made of a thousand lies

A noose made of betrayal

The beam of deceit

Stands as a gallows in front of the town

There's no victim yet, and then you came

At the wrong time to the wrong place

They captured you, charged you

Without a word

They took you away

[Refrain:]

They want to see you hang

You are suspect

They will see you hang

Because you must go away

They should see you hang

To bear witness to the power

That will stop at nothing1

Therefore you must disappear, away

A rumour conjured up so fast

A noose made of betrayal

No one actually saw it

But everyone believes that it was you

Everyone believes it must be that way

Because no one other than you

Stands out or comes into our minds

Because everyone else lacks courage

Because they are so good

[Refrain:]

They want to see you hang

You are suspect

They will see you hang

Because you must go away

They should see you hang

To bear witness to the power

That will stop at nothing

Therefore you must disappear, away

Because you are different from the others

That is your offense

You are in the worst case scenario2

Unintentionally unpleasant

You must understand

[Refrain:]

They want to see you hang

You are suspect

They will see you hang

Because you must go away

They should see you hang

To bear witness to the power

That will stop at nothing

Therefore you must disappear, away

1. An idiom, literally "that steps over dead bodies"2. This is difficult to translate adequately. "Im Falle des/eines Falles" means "If the worst comes to the worst" literally "In the case of the/a case". The song line says "in the case of *this case*" meaning the presumed crime.
