The one who's sitting on the highest throne
imposed the punishment before I was born
Sentenced to death

The one who reigns over the rest
sentenced me for eternal anguish and pain
Nobody imposed me what to do,
nobody imposed white kerchief on my head
Now it's too late. Sentenced to death.

I am the judge, I am executioner
Sentence has just fallen
Now I am waiting for the day
When I won't cross the kerchief on my eyes
Kerchief is black and I am sentenced
Sentenced to death

Although I am still alive I am dead already
It's a transitory condition
Between actual death and moment of sentence
