El boig de la ciutat [English translation]

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...
