Lyrics
I live out yonder where the snakes and scorpions run
I live in an area where snakes and scorpions are abundant
Got myself a little goldmine to bank on
I have a small goldmine that I rely on
But one day my heart sank when I saw madame in town
My heart sank when I saw Madame (a woman) in town
I knew her love would be the death of mine
I knew her love would be the cause of my downfall
L'amour passait, l'amour obsolate
Love passed, love obsolete
Pourquoi perdre sa vie chercher l'or d'un coeur?
Why lose one's life searching for the gold of a heart?
Je ne me noierai pas dans ce dasert mystique
I won't drown in this mystical desert
Je ferme mes comptes et je repars
I close my accounts and leave
Do me a favor while I'm hanging here
Requesting a favor while facing a dire situation
Take this gold and go and hide
Give this gold and hide it for me
"Ne gigote pas, chéri"
"Don't squirm, darling"
"Sur ta corde, pendu"
"On your rope, hanging"
Don't worry, I'll be free in no time
Expressing confidence in being free soon
She promised me she would be there when I'd return
She promised to be there upon my return
She didn't say she'd have a whole army there as well
Unexpectedly, she had a whole army waiting
She whispered, "je t'aime, baby" as she fired that gun at me
Whispered "I love you" while shooting at me
"Mais je n'ai plus de temps"
"But I have no more time"
I should've stayed way out yonder
Regret for not staying away in the remote area
Better off with the scorpions and snakes
Believing it would be better with snakes and scorpions
Every act which has no heart will be found out in the end
Actions without heart will be exposed eventually
Guess I'm a little late this time
Realizing the truth but too late this time
'Cause her love would be the death of mine
Reiterating that her love caused his downfall
Mine, all mine
Emphasizing ownership of the consequences
