THE REVENGE OF THE EXECUTED WITCH after Vessa Blumenbaum

Ksey_Gan

Who here doesn't know Hans the executioner?

Every child has known me for a long time.

The crowd applauded, guffawing, as a boofoner,

When I cut off the witch's head shipshape

 

I was sure: the dead does not take revenge,

But you dissuaded me, decedent Clara:

As soon as your soul rushed to hell, I pledge,

I became a victim of the devil's gift, sorry.

 

Once I was in love with a beauty poor,

But there was nowhere for both of us to start

I did as the law ordered me to do sure.

They let me know ,  it is more important than the heart.

 

Since then, one only girl - that’s death -

Follows me, comes to my house

grown.

My figure - long as a pole, straight,

Both old and young in the whole district do  know.

 

I did as the law ordered me, above

But before the splashes had time to dry on my clothes,

I realized that I was in soor love,

Much stronger, much more passionately than previous.

 

My hand is strong and my spirit is firm,

I can rightfully be proud of myself,

It's just a pity: the devil won't return you to me...

And a new one like that - will not be born itself.

 

Since then, one only girl - that’s death

Follows me, comes to my house.  grown

My figure - long as a pole, straight

Both old and young in the whole district do  know.

 

I did as the law ordered me, above

But before the splashes had time to dry on my clothes,

I realized that I was in soor love

Much stronger, much more passionately than previous.

 

Unfortunately, I am  not joking about this,

As well as about the fact that I chew bread for a reason:

I know everything that the executioner needs

And I chop off a head with one blow precision

 

My hand is strong and my spirit is firm,

I can rightfully be proud of myself,

It's just a pity: the devil won't return you to me...

And a new one like that - will not be born itself
