Translation
Playing with Fire
The temple swayed as the choir sings
Five o'clock AM my death came for me
My soul left my heart, suddenly becoming free.
The whores I met lodging in Milan
And the maids whose faces were anger flushed
In the light of day had no qualms destroying me.
I, like a bone in their throat
Sparked hunger that made them choke
I saw through their wicked souls.
Hey! I played as their foe
Knowing secret laws
Of passions so low
Of beggars and of tsars
I played violin
Wakening desire
Talented in sin
How I played with fire!
Then I had such a stainless soul,
I knew no power except the Lord,
'Til an evil mark was burned on my violin.
The serpent's rumors have only grown
That a ghost from Hell rules upon my bow
And the Prince of Lies, Satan is my closest friend!
He, like a bone in my throat
Sparked hate in my holy soul
Worth only my tears of blood.
Hey! I played as their foe
Knowing secret laws
Of passions so low
Of beggars and of tsars
I played violin
No devil could inspire
My talent or my sin,
How I played with fire!
Violin
Played with sin
You are always wrong
Obstinate
Ruled by men
Servant to my songs
But you won't admit that I rule your violin!
You are just a slave to the one who you condemn!
With sin
Cry again!
Mourn, but play to win.
Nothing's wrong
You've been dead so long
Forget the cares of men!
They should eat and drink in three throats day and night
It cannot be helped if the third time you were right!
But if you go down
Laughing violin
Make a drunken sound
Be sure to take me down
Hellish, standing proud
I'll understand your sin
We'll embrace desire
Here you'll play with fire!
