Heite drah’ i mi ham English translation
von Wolfgang Ambros

I lock the door and put the chain on
Hang up my clothes carefully, as I always do
Pour warm water into the bathtub
And for the first time in my life I feel free.
I write a very last greeting to my friends
Because today is a day to celebrate

Today I'll kill myself
Slit my wrists
Lie in the warm water
And let my poor blood run its course


Today I'll kill myself
And it doesn't hurt at all
You just get tired very slowly
Till you don't feel a thing

Just a little cut and then it's done
And I can already feel getting lighter and lighter
The water is bloody red, it's just the same
Like a sunset in Jesolo
Slowly it's getting dark now, dark and so quiet
Freedom only means that you can go whenever you want

Today I'll kill myself
Slit my wrists
Lie in the warm water
And let my poor blood run its course


Today I'll kill myself
And it doesn't hurt at all
You just get tired very slowly
Till you don't feel a thing
