Element des Verbrechens [English translation]

Marie, your lover took you

to the woods, out of the door.

He sang a song of the year before,

the wind playing in your hair.

Far away from the path, in the black grove,

he beat you with his fists.

Say, what agitated him this much

he just beat you down?

Marie, your lover is a beast,

without a reason,

he has smashed your strawberry mouth,

Marie, Marie, what was the reason?

You were an angel, soft and pure,

they found you in the woods, alone,

after days, your dress was white,

Marie, Marie, what was the price?

Marie, your lover is a beast,

without a reason,

he has smashed your strawberry mouth,

Marie, Marie, what was the reason?

Marie, your lover went down to the river,

he still gave you a kiss,

his coat was heavy as lead,

Marie, Marie, it's over.

And beneath wreath and marble,

Marie now rests, so white and fragile.
