That night I couldn’t eat and drink
’Cause she was beautiful like spring
And like a deity, and like a deity…
But that a man who was the first –
He came and pointed me the doors,
He came and pointed me the doors,
But I was sitting.

And that a man who was the first –
Oh, how fiercely he cursed –
I wasn’t tipsy, I could remember…
But when I thought that was enough
She told me: ‘Stay with me, my love!,’
She told me: ’Stay with me, my love!’
While they were gambling.

And nothing could foretell the worst,
But that a man who was the first
His spite was keeping, his spite was saving…
When I was walking with my friend
I saw them in a row stand,
I saw them in a row stand,
They, skunks, were seven!

But that a man who was the first –
He’d know how much I cost –
The knife would judge it,
The knife would judge it!
There was no way to go back,
There was no way and I attacked,
Somebody jumped on my back,
Somebody jumped!..

I wasn’t glad, but wasn’t dead,
A prison doctor, like my dad
Told me to stand firm, told me to stand firm…
That was I hardly could abide
The doctor cut me far and wide,
The doctor cut me far and wide,
But I was grateful…

It wasn’t long, but it was late
Because my darling couldn’t wait –
But I forgive her, but I forgive her.
’Cause I should pardon her, of course…
But that a man who was the first…
But that a man who was the first,
I’ll sure meet him!!.
